Beck, Special Editions, Inc. Porsche 550 Spyder Replica Just 1,555 Miles I am Tom Klein, a North Carolina Licensed & Bonded Dealer I Specialize Exclusively In Collectible Vehicles My Business is Tom’s Cool Cars. I deal in a variety of classic collectibles but my long time personal favorite, which I personally collect, enjoy restoring (when necessary) and take particular interest in offering at reasonable prices, is the Porsche Type 550 Spyder. Having been an avid passionate automotive and motorcycle enthusiast for over 50 years I can sincerely say I've never had more fun and gotten a bigger thrill from owning and driving any other vehicle! Chasing the 550 Market on a daily basis I see as many of these cars as anyone. Among the builders of 550 Spyder replicas, overall in my opinion, there is none of better quality, performance and value than the Beck 550 Spyder from Special Editions, Inc., of Breman, Indiana (who also build beautiful 356 Speedsters from the ground up (not on a VW Pan). I have dealt with, and personally visited with father and son owners, Kevin & Cary Hines, and toured the manufacturing facility where they carry on the legendary work of Chuck Beck. They are quality gentlemen who build a quality product that has stood the test of time since introduced by Chuck Beck in 1982. Beck is by far the 550 Spyder of choice of the majority of Spyder enthusiasts. THIS BECK 550 SPYDER IS AS CLOSE TO “BRAND NEW CONDITION” AS YOU WILL FIND!Upon request I can provide a link to 60 high resolution photos that can be viewed in full page format.

BEST OF ALL -This 126 hp Spyder performs like the 125 hp 550 Spyder Race Cars Porsche sold to a mere and very fortunate 75 buyers in 1955. The unfortunate exception infamously being James Dean who died in his Type 550 less than 2 weeks after taking delivery. The last original Porsche 550 Spyder to sell at auction brought $3,350,000 a couple years ago. You might be interested in knowing Chassis #77 (of 90 + several Prototypes) will cross the block the afternoon of Saturday, August 17 at the Mecum Auctions, Monterey, California auction. Originals don’t come up for public sale very often. You can catch it on TV on the Velocity Channel. It will be interesting to see how Chassis 77 does in Monterey.Most Spyder replica buyers thoroughly research the cars available and become familiar with values based on equipment, mileage and condition. Based on those factors I am offering this Spyder at a very fair market price of $28,750. This is the exact price at which I fairly priced and sold my last Beck Spyder here on eBay via a fixed price Buy It Now offering. That Spyder was constructed 2 years earlier than this one and had been driven over 5,000 miles further, logging 6,621 miles on the odometer. Please understand that at $28,750 I am not soliciting or entertaining offers. If the Buy It Now price was $29,900 it would still be the best buy of a low mile late model Beck build of this caliber. PLEASE NOTE: If you decide you would like to purchase this 550 Spyder please call to discuss your purchase before selecting Buy It Now. Selecting Buy It Now concludes the listing and obligates you to follow through with the purchase. Let's be sure we are both on the same page and in agreement of the payment terms and shipping/delivery arrangements first. Thank you.SHIPPING:Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and often no fun to get arranged. The price of fuel is high but some of the crazy shipping quotes I've seen simply are not justified. There is a reliable insured independent shipper I use who will deliver via a single car enclosed trailer for about $1.00 per mile depending on destination and tolls. If you can't find a better deal (not likely) I will be happy to provide his contact info if you purchase this Spyder. I attempt to be thorough with my description and to present large good quality photos. However, if you have questions I will be happy to answer them and discuss this Spyder in detail. Upon request I can also provide a link to over 40 high resolution photos which can be viewed in full page format. Just ask. I am available between 8:30 AM and 6 PM 7 days at 336-372-7400. Thanks for looking. Tom Klein Tom’s Cool Cars Laurel Springs, NC
