This particular 1962 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster Replica is dressed in an elegant black hue, standing out amidst the common silver fleet of its lineage, further accentuated by a recent paint job.

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).
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!

The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
Based on the fourth-generation Dodge Dart, the Swinger was a novel concept. By its fourth generation, the Dodge Dart was considered a compact (or senior compact in marketing speak) car. So the Swinger was, in many ways, a mini-Muscle car, targeted at those who loved performance, but who were perhaps on a tighter budget than others. This resulted in a smaller car, with just as much power as many of its bigger brothers. The car we’re featuring here is powered by a 318ci V8 engine. The owner reports that this is one rare gem, with the car having an original mileage of 98,000 miles. It features a host of new parts, including a new interior.

Our featured 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS Convertible doesn’t just look the part. It features a 6.2L supercharged V8 LS3 crate motor that reportedly puts out 590 hp with a few choice modifications. Evidently, this car isn’t for the faint-hearted. But it’s also an exercise in getting everything right, as you’ll see as you read on.
