Overview of 2008 Porsche 356 Replica For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This 1957 Porsche 356 A 1600 Super Speedster Replica presents itself in a maroon suit, and is an excellent reproduction of the original’s iconic design. You’ll no doubt notice the Beetle similarities, such as in the headlamps, bumpers, and some of the curves. But, you’ll also appreciate the sleek silhouette that this car cuts, regardless of whether its tan convertible top is deployed or lowered. Whitewall tires, which are reportedly new, only add to its allure. The tan interior of this 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster Replica is strictly for two, with well-bolstered seats, a Nardi Torino wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a wood-knobbed gear shifter taking center stage for the driver. Then, we find the original-style gauge cluster with its three-dial layout, offering a central tachometer, flanked by the speedometer and auxiliary gauges. This layout continues into Porsche’s entry-level offerings such as the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. Behind the two seats is a small area for some luggage, to augment the car’s modestly-sized front trunk.

Engine

The 1,915cc air-cooled, flat-four cylinder engine that powers this 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster Replica is an eager thing that you’ll enjoy listening to on every drive. It sends power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. Moreover, a recent engine tune-up has been reported, ensuring that this car should perform at its peak.
