Commissioned by a dedicated automobile collector, it stayed in his care for many years before passing to his adult daughter. Throughout its life, it was stored under cover in an enclosed environment and used only for recreation. Many 356 replicas have been modified, rebuilt, or heavily refreshed over the decades. This one still presents, runs, and drives like a freshly completed car. It sits on a 1971 Volkswagen floorpan with an enhanced dual-port flat-four and a traditional 4-speed manual, so you get the classic air-cooled experience without the acquisition cost of an original 356.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Engine &amp; Transmission<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">1971 Volkswagen dual-port flat-four engine<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">EMPI dual-port intake manifolds<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Twin Solex carburetors<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Additional internal performance modifications<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">4-speed manual transmission<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Rear-wheel drive<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Air-cooled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Exterior<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Classic 356 Speedster silhouette<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Low-profile windscreen<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Hartz cloth folding Speedster top in near-new condition<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Matching cloth zippered tonneau cover in near-new condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Interior<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Gray interior<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Audio system concealed in the dash<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Period-inspired cockpit appearance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Suspension &amp; Chassis<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Built on a 1971 Volkswagen floorpan<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Lightweight Speedster construction<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Limited recreational use<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">No track use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Additional Info<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Built in the 1980s, approximately 40 years old<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Originally commissioned by a dedicated automobile collector<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Passed to the collector&#8217;s adult daughter after his death<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Stored under cover in an enclosed environment<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Exceptional overall preservation for its age<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1980s Porsche 356 Speedster Replica: Beautifully Preserved, Period-Built This 1980s Porsche 356 Speedster recreation captures the open-air spirit of one of the most celebrated designs in sports car history.
