Vehicle Detail
Chuck Beck is known around the world for his high-quality Porsche reproductions. They are built to a standard of no other reproduction vehicles. This is not a kit car, but a hand built reproduction of the famous 1955 Porsche Spyder, made famous by James Dean. The quality of the materials, components, and assembly speaks for itself. This particular car is a 2650 original mile Beck 550 Spyder. Silver-blue with red leather interior and matching red floor mats.Tubular frame chassis with a flat 4 engine with dual Weber carbs mated to a 4 speed transmission with 4 wheel disc. The power to weight ratio on these is amazing. If you have never driven one, they are a BLAST! Car comes with a cold weather package of a black soft top and matching side curtains. Original style banjo steering wheel, shift knob, leather straps for the engine cover and original style Porsche badges. Titled as a 1955 Porsche, this VERY low mileage masterpiece is ready for your driving pleasure. Car is in fantastic condition and always garaged, panels line up great and color looks great and is not blotchy as some silvers can be. I have driven the car and it is in need of not one thing. Considering a real one trades at over 1 MIL for the price you can’t find a better way to have fun. With a few updates you can have this car looking dead on as an original. Doing a wide five wheel update makes it look like a million bucks with not much effort. It has a few paint issues from normal use. You have some hair line scratches on the top of the front left fender, can polish out not below the clear. You have a 1/4 inch scratch on the driver’s door and a small dot chip behind the right rear wheel and that's all I can find. Shipping can be arranged world wide. Feel free to ask any questions ! Thanks for looking and good luck !
