1955 Chamonix 550 Porsche Spyder-Beck Replica

This is a Beck 1955 Replica of the famous 550 Porsche Spyder called a Chamonix 550. This is not a kit car but rather a turn key auto built by the nice folks at Special Edition in Bremen Indiana using a Subaru 2. 5L liquid cooled engine rather than the typical VW powerplant. This company has been building the Beck replica Spyder and Speedster for 32 years as I understand it and as can be seen by the fit and finish on this model. really know their stuff. Their website is a wealth of information regarding these cars and also the source for parts and accessories. This particular car was built in 2012 for a customer with the unusual champagne(yellow) color and as a turn key car came as you see it with standard leather interior. 4WDB. top. curtains. tonneau. spare tire and jack kit. The following options were also installed during assembly; racing three-point belts. rear fender spears. helmet fairing. GT racing mirror. upgrade park/turn signals. oil cooler grill. stainless exhaust. Fuchs wheels(5) and the previously mentioned paint. The engine used is a very low mileage 2007 Subaru 2. 5 throttle by wire model which produces 190 HP according to the website. Transmissions are supplied by Rancho ion CA and are new not a junk yard take-off. This is nice little car. runs like a watch and goes like a scared car. Fit and finish is as good as any and better than most. simply a well built machine. Please note: Some states don't appreciate these replicas and can make registration difficult. With that said I can state that this car has been titled in IND. RI and NH. The paperwork I have for this car includes the clear and open NH title. build sheets from Special Edition. a copy of the title of the 2007 Imprezza bought by Special Edition as a source of engine and wiring components and a letter from Subaru of America denoting the engine number in this particular donor car. The engine number is readily visible on the engine if inspection is necessary. That is what I have and all that should be necessary. Please do your due diligence in your state before bidding. A few small stone chips on the underside from normal road use. As always. no test pilots.
