The first mass-produced Porsche to enter the world, the 356 is now one of the German automaker's most coveted classics. Introduced in 1948, it was made until 1965. Designed and engineered with direct involvement from Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, the 356 is a case study to this day as to how a sports car can be exciting without needing triple-digit horsepower figures. Sadly, finding an original Porsche 356 can be difficult, as well as costly. That's why we've got the replica market to thank for vehicles such as this 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster. Titled as a 1974 Volkswagen beetle, it originally started off as a Beetle with modifications to the frame and chassis while still keeping the heartbeat and touches from the original donor car as this California-registered car has been made to a very high standard. The car bears just 7,000 original miles, and the current owner reports it to be all stock, with nothing modified from the original donor.
Exterior and Interior
Draped in a peaceful shade of Ivory paint, this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica showcases the timeless lines that make it a cult classic even in 2024. If you're getting faint Volkswagen Beetle hints, that's because Ferdinand Porsche is the man behind the original Beetle as well. It's no surprise that the original 356 shared some parts with the original Volkswagen Beetle; this excellent replica does as well. As it's a speedster, you've got a beautiful brown leather tonneau cover and side windows for some weather protection, but we'd recommend not taking this beauty out in heavy snowfall or torrential rain. The interior of this 2004 Porsche 356 Speedster is done in brown, with two leather seats and a spartan dashboard. You won't find creature comforts such as air conditioning, Apple CarPlay, or even a sound system. Instead, the driver gets a steering wheel, a gear shifter, and three pedals to control the car. Directly ahead is an analog instrument cluster that shows engine revs, road speed, fuel level, and coolant temperature. That's all you need, really.
Engine
This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster comes with it's original Volkswagen 1600cc air-cooled flat-four with twin carburetors, just like some of the original 356's from the 1950s did. Residing peacefully in the car's tail but ever eager to awaken, the engine enjoys dual carburetors and drives the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. It may not be a tire fryer, but this car is surprisingly nimble to drive thanks to its lightweight chassis.
As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.
The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
Classic Porsches are machines that can turn any bad day into a memorable life experience. While the Porsche 911 is a legend in every right, it's the Porsche 356 that pushes all the right buttons in terms of classic aesthetic and drive feel. Present today is a true rare bird and takes shape with this 1963 Porsche 356. With a reported 1,148 miles on its clock, this clean German classic is ready for new adventures and a new custodian to take the wheel.
The 986-generation Boxster is where Porsche reminded the world that a great sports car does not need to be enormous, overpowered, or complicated to be wildly entertaining. This 2003 Porsche Boxster S has just 17,647 miles and brings the proper formula: a naturally aspirated flat-six mounted just behind the cabin, rear-wheel drive, a power-operated soft top, and that unmistakable Porsche balance. Finished in the timeless combination of Arctic Silver Metallic over Metropol Blue leather, it is a beautifully specified roadster with the right options and the kind of mileage that makes it especially exciting.
Porsche introduced the Boxster S "50 Jahre 550 Spyder" in 2004 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary 550 Spyder, one of the most influential sports cars in the brand's history. Limited to just 1,953 examples worldwide—a nod to the year the original 550 Spyder debuted—this special edition featured exclusive styling cues, premium materials, and enhanced performance that set it apart from the standard Boxster S. This particular example, numbered 1,281 of 1,953 produced, has traveled approximately 46,314 miles and is finished in the signature GT Silver Metallic over Dark Grey Natural Leather. Equipped with the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission, this limited-production Porsche offers an engaging driving experience while remaining one of the most collectible variants of the 986-generation Boxster.
The first-generation Porsche Boxster helped redefine the affordable sports car segment when it debuted in the late 1990s, but the Boxster S took the experience to another level. Introduced with a larger flat-six engine, upgraded brakes, and a more performance-focused chassis, the Boxster S delivered the balanced handling and open-top driving experience that Porsche is renowned for. This 2003 Porsche Boxster S has just 39,580 miles and is finished in timeless Carrara White over a Graphite Grey leather interior. Equipped with desirable factory options including SportDesign 18-inch wheels, power seats with memory, and the Sound Package Plus, this roadster offers an engaging blend of comfort, style, and unmistakable Porsche performance.
