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.

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).

Few sports cars have had such an impact on the world as the Porsche 911. When it was showcased in 1964, the public were highly interested in this distinctive teardrop-shaped automobile. Then, they learned of its powertrain; an air-cooled flat-six mounted in the car’s tail, and of course, driving the rear wheels. This was quite a departure from traditional front-engined layouts. In fact, Porsche 911 development had started way earlier, in 1959, and it was envisioned to take over from the company’s 356 model. However, such was the 911’s impact that it created its own legacy, and one that continues to this day. Over the years, the 911 gained more creature comforts, convertible variants, and fearsome turbocharged engine options. The car’s exterior design saw modernization, but the overall teardrop shape remained. However, the engines remained air cooled until 1998, when tightening emissions regulations and demands for more power dictated that water cooling was the way to go. Thus, a sort of line was drawn; if you want a proper classic 911, go for pre-1998 cars. If you want more modern examples, post-1998 is where you should seek them out. Therefore, this South Carolina-based 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet is definitely a classic. However, it should be enjoyed rather than mothballed, and its current mileage of 80,948 tells you that it’s meant for the open road rather than stowed away in climate-controlled garages.
The Porsche 911 started out in 1964 with an air-cooled engine and a fun-to-drive demeanor. Then, turbo models and special editions came, and Porsche had created a legacy. Over the past many decades, the 911 has grown, evolved and become more sporty and luxurious. Its engine switched to water cooling in 1998, but has always remained in the tail of the car, slung out behind the rear axle. This makes for some entertaining handling characteristics for keen drivers to exploit. Today, we’ve got a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from the 997 generation up for sale with just 63,500 miles on the clock. The 997 generation was made between 2004 and 2013, and is considered to be an excellent place to start if you’re searching for your first 911 but don’t want to buy brand-new. This Phoenix-located car also comes with all servicing up to date.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that.

With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
In 1963, Chevy introduced the second generation of their popular Corvette sports car and Americans went wild for it. While the first generation was groundbreaking, the second generation was, simply put, evolutionary. The coupe sported a new split-screen rear window that, sadly, had to be axed after just one year due to rearward visibility issues. No such worries with the convertible, which came with a slick metal hardtop that could be removed and kept at home. Today, we’ve got a nice 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for sale for the discerning collector or eager first-time classic car aficionado to purchase. This car hails from Rogers, Texas, and has covered over 75,000 miles in its life. This tells you everything you need to know; that it’s a car that’s truly worth driving and enjoying. Furthermore, this car comes with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, further elevating its collectible status.
