Available is my Porsche 550 replica. I have spent a considerable amount of time and money over the last few years building/sorting this replica. As with many Porsche kits, it's built off a VW pan/chassis VIN # 117771754 I initially started this kit due to my want for a Porsche 550. I drove many kits to include Beck, and Thunder Ranch before purchasing. These are excellent kits that perform very well; unfortunately the main down fall they all share is lack of comfort. I found most kits to be very difficult to drive if your near 6ft or taller such as myself, and they offered zero storage. Eventually I found another kit that offered more room. This kit solved my needs for long distance travel comfort, is useable for tall drivers, and offers plenty of storage behind seats. Early in the build process I changed many things on the kit at extensive cost to achieve a higher quality/more refined car "I can go into detail with an interested buyer". Please be mindful that I need to sell this car soon, so only contact me if you're a serious buyer. Here is a quick categorized overview of the car in an effort to keep a short ad. Drive Train: -Started with a fully rebuilt dual port 1600 VW motor. This motor received many upgrades for reliability and performance during the rebuild. -New Big Valve CB Performance heads. -New Mahle piston/cylinder kit -Engle 110 Performance Cam shaft (installed with new lifters, proper break in procedure followed) -New distributor with Pertronix Electronic Ignition installed. -Complete Fabricated Stainless Exhaust system (expensive time consuming process) -New Empi high capacity oil cooler with thermo activated cooling fan set to engage at 180F. The engine runs very cool, fan rarely engages. -Rebuilt transmission, to include all new shift linkage & short throw shifter. -New 90amp internally regulated alternator, new starter, new cooling fan with alloy fan Shroud. -New clutch, new clutch cable, and new flywheel -Both pulleys replaced with SunCo Billet Alloy pulleys.-New 34mm Dual Weber carb kit. Suspension: -The pan was completely rebuilt front to back to include new floor pans. -New adjustable shocks all four corners -Complete new brakes all four corner to include new master cylinder (stops very well) -New Wheels staggered 4" wide upfront, 5.5" wide in back, new Porsche Hub caps, and new tires -All new tie rods, ball joints, new polyurethane bushings throughout, new steering stabilizer -New steering box, and new steering shaft bearings (very tight steering) Body: -Body is sorted with all mounting points attached, doors, hood, and rear lid all open easily without issue. -Car has been completely wired, and is fully functional to include all lighting, gauges, charging system, and all drivetrain electrical. -Authentic Porsche 356 rear engine cover grilles, OEM VW headlight assemblies "new", all lighting is new and only glass lenses used throughout. -Body finished in "hotrod" satin black; the car will easily be ready for paint with minor body work. Interior: -New seats with seat heaters (makes for comfortable driving, they heat quickly) -New carpet kit, new door skins/padding -Complete gauge set used from Porsche 914 -Mona Lita Wood steering wheel, with matching wood shift knob. -All switches, ignition, door latch assemblies, and pedal assembly are new. In summary this is a kit that can be driven, used in comfort, and with a little finishing work could be a show winning car. I would say the car is 90% complete, and will not disappoint. If you've ever built a kit car, then you'll know your far better off buying one in this condition both financially & time wise rather than starting from scratch. Easy to finish, or enjoy as is for the rest of the summer. Starts easy, and runs all day. Easy to register/title under the original VIN # of a 67 VW Beetle. However, if needed I can get a title expedited through DMV but you will cover the cost. Feel free to call me at 503-369-0459. Do NOT contact me if you're not a serious buyer. I must sell ASAP and do not have time to waste with individuals who cannot make a decision. I priced below what I have invested, and what I believe to be a fair price. That being said I will consider reasonable offers. Before choosing the buy It now option, please call me first. I do not want to relist this car due to a non-paying buyer. I need to verify you intend on following through with purchase. A none refundable deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours purchase through paypal.The shipping arrangements are your responsibility, but I will work with any shipping company to assist in loading of the car.
