- 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica
- Current owner reports new paint job in Silver
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.
Exterior and Interior
We’re told that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica has received a new coat of silver paint, which gives it a lovely appearance. Look closely and it’s not hard to see VW Beetle elements; the headlamps and wheels are two easy to spot cues. Even the overall shape of the car seems to be related in some way. However, the body and floorpan of a 356 are not related to the Beetle, being separate designs. Since the engine is in the rear, popping the front hood reveals the fuel tank, battery, and some cargo space. The red leather-upholstered interior of this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica has seating for two adults. There’s an upholstered bench behind, but we’d say that this is more suitable for luggage than humans. The dashboard hosts a bevy of Vintage-branded white-faced gauges, and the driver is presented with a chunky wood-rimmed steering wheel to control the car. The gear shifter also has a similar wood knob, while the handbrake is in metal. There’s a radio too, which wasn’t present in the original 356.
Engine
This 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica packs an air-cooled flat-four engine in its tail. Likely sourced from a VW Beetle, the engine happily purrs away and powers the rear wheels via a manual transmission.
Capturing the unmistakable charm of one of Germany's most iconic sports cars, this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica by JPS Motorsports blends timeless styling with thoughtfully selected performance upgrades. Showing just 816 miles, this professionally built Speedster replica is finished in elegant GT Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior and rides on classic Wide-Five steel wheels. Power comes from an upgraded 2,332cc air-cooled flat-four paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle, creating a lightweight, engaging driving experience that stays true to the spirit of the original while benefiting from modern enhancements.
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.
The 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet sits at a particularly interesting point in 911 history, pairing the 996-generation Turbo’s brutally effective all-weather performance with open-top driving. Finished in Black over Black leather with a matching Black convertible soft top, this example carries the 3.6L twin-turbocharged flat-six, 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic, and all-wheel drive that made the 996 Turbo such a formidable road car in period. It is also equipped with desirable comfort and appearance features including heated front seats, Bose high-end audio, aluminum-painted instrument dials, a thicker steering wheel, and 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels. Showing approximately 98,750 miles, this Turbo Cabriolet combines serious performance credentials with the more usable, grand-touring side of the 911 formula.
Very few cars from the 1970s have the reputation of the first-generation Porsche 911 Turbo. This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an early U.S.-specification example showing approximately 103,898 miles and carrying VIN 9306800195, placing it as the 195th U.S.-market 930 in the 1976 VIN sequence. Porsche introduced the Turbo to North America for the 1976 model year, and this car belongs to the original 3.0-liter generation produced before the larger 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for 1978. Finished in White over a Black leather interior, this example combines the early single-turbo drivetrain with the signature wide rear fenders and factory whale-tail spoiler that made the 930 instantly recognizable. It also features a Rennsport-style front bumper, upgraded Porsche alloy wheels, factory-style air conditioning, a sunroof, and period Porsche equipment. According to the seller, this example has remained under the same ownership for the last 24 years, adding an appealing element of long-term provenance to one of Porsche’s most important early turbocharged road cars. Porsche states that 2,850 3.0-liter Turbos were produced during the model’s first three years, while specialist production records list 530 U.S.-specification examples for the 1976 model year.
Few sports cars have maintained the same combination of everyday usability, unmistakable design, and enthusiast appeal as the Porsche 911. This 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet brings that formula into an open-top package, pairing its rear-wheel-drive layout and twin-turbocharged flat-six with a carefully selected configuration that stands apart visually. Finished in Chalk over a Bordeaux Red leather interior with Chalk stitching, this example has traveled approximately 11,047 miles. Desirable equipment includes the Sport Exhaust System, 20-/21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels, Power Steering Plus, the Premium Package, Surround View, ventilated front seats, and a BOSE surround sound system. The contrasting black convertible roof with double stripes in Grey and matching front trunk lid decal give this Carrera Cabriolet an especially distinctive presence.
