The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car from the Forties and Fifties. It was Porsche’s first production model, and is a highly sought-after classic. Only 76,000 were produced, and it is estimated that around half may survive, in various states. Hence, it’s not uncommon for original Porsche 356s to be relatively rare, and expensive when they come on the market. Thankfully, if you want a Porsche 356 to grace your life, you can consider buying an excellent replica, such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica. The car is titled as a 1971 Volkswagen, and has been featured in various car shows over the years. Moreover, the current owner claims that it’s even won some awards and trophies!
This beautiful 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica looks virtually indistinguishable from the original from outside, unless you’re extremely knowledgeable about the fine specifications of the 356 model. Painted in a period-correct black, it rolls on a set of equally period-correct steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. The car has a convertible top, and the current owner discloses that one of the pop-in windows is missing. Otherwise, everything is present and correct, including the head and taillamp clusters in the correct shape and style, the chrome bumpers, hood straps, headlamp protectors, and of course, the relevant badging. The interior of this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is a two-plus-two affair in black and red. You’ve got two low-back seats upholstered in red leather, with a two-tone red-and-black dashboard sporting all the important gauges and controls. Behind the front seats is a single rear bench, also upholstered in red leather, but more suited for two kids, or one average-sized adult, sitting sideways. The current owner says that the car has a Bluetooth-capable radio, and the connections needed to install an air conditioner are present as well.
Tucked away in the tail of this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is an air-cooled flat four-cylinder engine, much like you’d find in a Beetle, which is what the original Porsche 356 came with anyways. Badging leads us to believe that this example packs the larger 1.6L engine, and the current owner reports that carburetors have been replaced, and the oil has been recently changed. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox, giving you a pleasing experience on your favorite road.

Porsche’s first-ever production model, the 356 was a lightweight and nippy sports car that debuted in 1948. Coming in at just under 158 inches long and a smidge over 65 inches wide, it was a truly compact thing that could easily be threaded along narrow roads. It sported an air-cooled flat-four engine in the tail, and wasn’t that much of a departure from the Volkwagen Beetle. No surprise, since Ferdinand Porsche had a hand in the Beetle’s development too. Over 76,000 original 356s were made, but far fewer survive today. That means if you want an original car in reasonable condition, you’ve got to be prepared to pay top-dollar for it. Thankfully, the replica market has you covered, with gems such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster 1600 Super Replica. Built by Vintage Speedsters and assembled in 2008, this car is up for sale with a mere 9,300 miles on the odometer. It originally started it's life as a 1974 Volkswagen. So, why not buy it and make it your weekend toy? It’s a fine thing that will show you the beauty of driving a classic automobile, without the typical headaches that typically come with classic car ownership.
The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).
Owning a Porsche 911 is a dream for many, especially one of the classic air-cooled variants. Introduced in September 1964, few sports cars have had such an impact as the Porsche 911. Its iconic teardrop shape and rear-mounted engine continue even in 2025. Initially sporting a naturally aspirated engine, Porsche started slapping on a turbo at the factory in 1975. The 930 generation was the first to have forced induction, and these are fearsome cars that really test the mettle of a driver. So, if you’re up for a challenge, we’ve got a 16,025-mile 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo for sale with Porsche-certified authenticity, a host of new parts, and all documentation from a Porsche mechanic as reported by the current owner. Living in Fairfield, California, this car is not one for the meek or weak. Treat it right, and it will give you unmatched driving pleasure.
Sports cars have been seen in all types of forms, but there is one brand that many believe can do it better than anyone: Porsche. This 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo, with just over 3,000 miles under its belt, is a perfect representation of why no other car brand can touch Porsche. It encompasses the formula they mastered over 60 years ago, and if anything, it’s gotten better with time.
In the world of precisely built sports cars, Porsche has always been unstoppable. For over 60 years, their formula of rear-engined goodness has wowed every person privileged enough to get behind the wheel of one. This 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 with a reported 13,682 miles on the clock is the perfect solution for those who can’t choose between a coupe or a convertible.
The Shelby Cobra is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built—and this 1965 Cobra Replica by AC Cobra offers that same legendary presence with a modern twist. Finished in deep blue with a black interior, this replica blends show-stopping looks with real performance. Under the hood sits an LT1 350ci V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission and a rear-wheel-drive layout. With just 25,900 miles reported and a host of custom touches—including a computerized nitrous system and full roll bar—this is a Cobra that’s been built to be driven.
One of the rarest pure sports cars in the world is the AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra. It's the result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British sports car maker AC Cars, and saw a brutish American V8 crammed into the engine bay of a pert British roadster. The result was one of the most capable sports cars of the time, a true driver’s challenger. Less than 1,000 official Cobras were made, which means that getting your hands on one is a high six figure investment – if you can find someone willing to sell, that is. Thankfully, we’ve got this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing for sale for much less. With a Ford Racing engine under the hood and plenty of original-inspired bits, this car is as close as you can get.
Now, here’s something you certainly don’t see every day! A fully working Batmobile replica. This exquisite example is based on the model introduced in Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns movies of the ’80s and ’90s — an iconic classic loved by all. Our featured Batmobile isn’t short in the power department either, as it has a new 305ci V8 engine, and all the features that appear in the movie reportedly work, including the turbine, flameflower, and “machine guns.” The owner also reports that it's completely street-legal, with additional info, pictures, and documentation available on request. There’s plenty to talk about with this incredible custom creation, so let's dive into it.
