The Porsche 356 was the first car that the German automaker Porsche produced. Closely related to the Volkswagen Beetle, the 356 was the work of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche, the man who created the Beetle. Just like the Beetle, the Porsche 356 carries its engine in the tail, an air-cooled flat-four that powers the rear wheels. However, while the Beetle is meant for mass transportation, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble and speedy sports car. The car was made in three forms: a fixed-head coupe, a canvas-roofed convertible, and a Speedster, which was a convertible, but with a lower profile made possible by a low-raked windshield. Over 76,000 were made, and many were raced, but few owners realized the historic value of the 356 – after all, there’s no such thing as a magical crystal ball, is there? Today, finding an original 356 is a difficult (and costly) endeavor, but thankfully, replicas exist. This 1979 Porsche 356 Speedster is a replica that’s been made by Intermeccanica and comes to you from Georgia with under 44,000 miles on the clock.
Dressed in black, this 1979 Porsche 356 Speedster is a car that’s meant to impress. With its long, low stance, black soft top, chrome bumpers and steel wheels with shiny chrome hubcaps, this is a car that looks like nothing else. Its case is further helped by the fact that it’s extremely likely that much of the current generation won’t know what a 356 is; originals were made between 1948 and 1965. Meanwhile, at the rear there’s a set of quad exhaust tips which gives the car a great engine note as well as further uplifts its looks. The interior of this 1979 Porsche 356 Speedster is new, and includes black leather with red trim for the seats. You’ll find Porsche logos on the head rests and the steering wheel. Meanwhile, the dashboard hosts a treat for audiophiles, there’s not only a regular Panasonic head unit, but an Alpine equalizer too!
This 1979 Porsche 356 Speedster uses a 1.8-liter flat-four engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. This is more than enough to grant you with exciting performance within the legal speed limits of the country.
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.

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.
We’re going to let you in on a little secret. Nearly everyone on the ECT team lusts, or has lusted after a Porsche 911 at some point in their life. It’s the definitive petrolhead car and icon of German sporting excellence. Introduced in 1964, the 911 brought a sleek teardrop-styled aerodynamic shape to the table, and plonked a flat-six air-cooled engine in its tail. Then, it gave other features that prevail to this day, such as a five-dial instrument pack on the dashboard. A big change came in mid 1998, when the 996 era was introduced. This is when air cooling was exchanged for water cooling, due to increasing power demands and tightening emissions regulations. That makes cars like this 1998 Porsche 911 Cabriolet from the 993 era one of the last of the air-cooled brigade. They may be the last of an era, but they are far from dinosaurs. This Myrtle Beach-based machine has done just 32,000 miles and comes with a nice 6-speed manual transmission to enjoy. Snap it up before someone else does!
The most popular modern open-topped Porsche for those who want to check out the brand’s sporting credentials, the Boxster was conceived in the early 2000s. Porsche had entry-level models from time to time, designed to attract younger buyers who couldn’t afford a 911 just yet. This strategy of getting them into the family was genius; it afforded such people a taste of the Porsche experience, basically ensuring that they’d graduate into a 911, or in later years, a Panamera, Macan, Cayenne, etc when they were ready for an upgrade. Today’s 2012 Porsche Boxster is a fine example for anyone who wants an older Boxster. It’s a lovely second-generation example from San Antonio, with just 37,250 miles on the clock. Plus, it has a sports exhaust, sport bucket seats, 19-inch wheels and more. Two keys are included with the sale of this car.
Porsche’s legendary 911 is one of the greatest sports cars in the world. That’s quite a claim to make, isn’t it? But is it far fetched? The 911 debuted for the 1964 model year with a teardrop shape that has endured to this day. It featured a flat-six engine mounted in the tail, another feature that has endured to this day. Granted, the engine was air-cooled from 1964 until 1998, when it switched to water cooling. Hence, owning a 911 is a dream for many petrolheads, and we can fulfil one person’s dream right here. This is a 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet from Albuquerque, New Mexico with just 7,500 miles on the clock. It’s a rear-wheel drive drop-top that will steal your heart on every drive.

The original AC Cobra, or Shelby Cobra as it’s popularly known, is a relatively rare bird in the automotive scene. Under 1,000 examples were made between 1962 and 1967, making it rarer than many modern supercars and hypercars! The Cobra was the result of an unholy union between a compact British Roadster and a brutish American V8, and the only man who dared to try such an union was the legendary Carroll Shelby. Naturally, the Cobra soon separated the boys from the men, so to speak. Taming a Cobra was one of those things that marked you out as a real racing driver. Naturally, with such low production, original Cobras are scarce on the market, and when they do pop up, move for high six, or even seven figure sums! No worries, though, because if you don’t mind a replica, outfits such as Factory Five are ready to assist. One of their creations is up for sale today, a 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica from Germantown, Maryland. This Cobra is a replica of a Mark 4 Roadster example, and packs a 351ci Windsor under the hood. So if you want something thrilling to drive every now and then, this is the definitive car for those all-analog, raw, visceral driving thrills that no modern machine can even come close to delivering.
Automotive marriages are often a lovely thing to see, and looking back at history, there was no better combination than the man, Carroll Shelby, partnering up with AC cars to bring to life the legendary Shelby Cobra. With a reported 4,859 miles on its clock and hailing from Whispering Pines, North Carolina, this 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica is almost the real deal and brings you the ultimate bang for buck.
The Ferrari 250 GT holds the distinction of being one of the most pricey classic cars to get your hands on. That’s no surprise, because Maranello made mere three-figure numbers of these cars, and today, they easily exchange hands for sums of money that resemble a telephone number! However, if you’re not crazy about authenticity, you can get yourself a replica like this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette 250GT Roadster Replica. Built by Candido Cavaliere, its been modeled after the classic Ferrari 250 GT, and based on a 1988 Chevy Corvette – that’s the C4 for you.
