Vehicle Detail
Unique and fabulous 356 Speedster 17 years old with all docs and receipts dating back to 1995 This is a very rare opportunity to buy a car that looks, drives and feels just right. Built in 1995 by Vintage Speedsters of California, these were the best period Speedsters available. In an era where real Speedsters were selling for $ 15k-$20k, these cars sold for $ 14,500-. The quality and fit has never been surpassed, 3 mm gaps all round, and many actual Porsche Speedster parts of the time were used. View high resolution pictures: http://1957porschespeester.shutterfly.com/ From it's correct proportions, to the intricate details, and correctness and age, this car is the one to own. The best thing about this car, that makes it unique and feel just right, is the fact that it is NOT new and is NOT perfect, there are signs of aging and wear, that lend to the overall appeal of the vehicle. There are imperfections in the paint, see pictures, the wheels and hub caps have surface rust, as do the horn grilles, see pics. etc. The interior has held up well, but does not have that just done yesterday feel. There is a small chip on the front right fender, a small 1/2 inch tear in the top. The Patina of the car is what gives it such tremendous appeal, and sets it appart from all those other brand new, off the showroom floor models. The best thing and most unusual thing about this Speedster, you cannot buy another like it, as it cannot be replicated. The car comes with all the original paperwork, service records, 2 steering wheels, a period correct larger wheel and a later smaller three spoke wheel, buyer can have his/her choice of wheel, 2 brand new side curtains with carrying pouches, half tonneau cover, new tires and battery, it is a great fun car and a joy to drive, chassis and suspension have smooth action with excellent poise that does not bounce you around, and is really is a super fun car, registered and ready to go. As with all things this is used car, and realistic expectations are to be had, and you will not be disappointed.
