Rear Wheel Drive. Convertible. 4 Cylinders. Manual Inventory ID: 6903M0 Vehicle Description Special Editions. Inc. a/k/a Beck Speedsters is one of the two "premier" manufacturers of Speedster Replicas in operation today. In my opinion. the company's stands above all other domestic manufacturer's for two reasons: 1) its use of tubular steel sub-frames instead of VW Beetle pans; and 2) its use of impeccable. hand laid fiberglass bodies. The first allows Beck Speedsters to replicate the interior dimensions of an actual 356 Speedster (meaning your left foot has room to move and will not be burned by a VW heater channel). and the second allows the production of a bodyshell that will never rust (and if you have owned a real 356 then you know exactly why that is an advantage). The example presented here was assembled in 2008 and is virtually flawless. It is graced by impeccable Ferrari yellow paint which glistens brightly in any light. The paint is free of substantive defects and has NO spiderwebs. The car has actual Marachall fog lights which function perfectly. The car also has chrome mesh stone guards on the headlight and chrome rims with actual Porsche enamel "nipple" hubcaps. The entirety of the chrome shows "as new" and stands as testimony to the fact that this car has never spent the night outdoors. As further proof of this. all rubber seals are in impeccable condition and the convertible top shows only slight wear. The car is powered by a 1915 cc Type 1 engine dyno tuned by CB Performance. This engine has twin 44 IDF Weber carbs and produces roughly 125 horsepower. The engine is mated to a Rancho transmission with a 3:88 gear ratio. The engine and tranmission allow the car to travel far in excess of the posted speed limit (even in the Texas heat). The car has front disc and rear drum brakes which stop the car quickly and assertively. According to the literature published by Beck. the car has a dry weight of 1600 lbs. a 0-60 time of 6. 7 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. The car has both a half-tonneau and a full cockpit tonneau (which is the only top I use for the car). Please recall that at the time of the original Speedster's manufacture. Porsche freely admitted that the Speedster's top and side curtains were not watertight and were for "emergency use only. " Having personally driven another Speedster over 60 miles in a rainstorm. I can attest that the Speedster top is virtually worthless and should almost never be used (washing the car is an acceptable occassion for its use - otherwise just get wet). The car's interior has full leather - dash. door panels and seats are leather. as are the shifter and e-brake boots. The car has a "Golden Lady" banjo steering wheel and an AM/FM/CD player with Aux input for MP3's and Ipods/Ipads/Iphones. The car has side curtains which have plexiglass inserts and rubber seals. The car is equipped with its original Beck floor mats which are custom fit to the car. The car also has black loop carpet which shows few signs of wear. Please note. the car's speedometer and odometer are in kilometers NOT miles. Thus. take the mileage shown (21. 86 km) and multiply it by 0. 62 (13. 21 miles). As this car was made in 2008. this means that the car has had an annual usage of only 2. 66 miles per year. One of the best features of this car is the emplacement of a Gilmore Enterprises "Freezurnugen" A/C system. This system. when used in conjunction with either the top or the half-tonneau. adequately cools the car and makes it driveable on even the hottest of days. The car's seats are supportive and easily accomodate my 6'3" frame. They slide forward and. despite my 36" sleeve length. I cannot drive the car with the seat in the "all the way back" position. Thus. the car should be able to accomodate persons up to 6"7". All in all. this car is a pristine. low mileage replica of an extremely desirable car. It is "street legal" in the State of Texas and has passed all prior State inspections. It hads never been in accident and while the car will never command the astronomical prices set by actual Speedsters. it should hold value. Further. this replica has several distinct advantages over "real" Speedsters. Those advantages. in my opinion. are: NO BODY RUST (ever!); "Modern" mechanicals (5 year old Type 1 derivatives); Front disc brakes; Air Conditioning!; Marachall Fog Lights; Chrome Stone Guards; Impeccable chrome and rubber; "Golden Lady" Banjo Steering Wheel; 12 volt power; Modern AM/FM/CD/MP3/Ipod stereo; Lower insurance costs; Drive anywhere. anytime (and not be paranoid about theft/accidents); Great looks; More horsepower!
