Vehicle Detail

1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Replica (Beck) LESS than 100 MILES on rebuilt motor, still in break in period.VW 1600 engineDashboard is in metric 19,176 Kilometers (12,400 mil. approx)Seats have headrests, I just prefer it withoutFold away top (pictured)Built in 1995It is in very good condition, but I did take it on regular weekend drives for years so there are small imperfections in the paint. Most notable are at back end and are pictured. This is the most fun that can be had on 4 wheels. The enthusiasm that is shared by the general public for this car is astounding. Yes, you will get thumbs up, waves and even stopped on almost every drive. This is a sad day, I have a new house and new baby which equals no time to drive it. Should be exercised and loved by someone who will take good care of it. Feel free to ask any questions and will post more pics on request.On Feb-06-12 at 09:09:37 PST, seller added the following information: Built by Beck - see photo of serial no. and paperwork. (I did remove my name and address for post.)More pics of engine bay, interior and trunk to come. I had no idea I would get this response. Having it detailed for the pics - check back! On Feb-06-12 at 21:39:39 PST, seller added the following information: New Additions that I forgot to mention previously: Car has alarmI have the side windows that go with the roofDriver's side has four-point racing harness and a fifth can easily be installedSide doors are reinforced with steel beam Two negatives found today after the car was detailed: Leather in one of the seat cushions is cracking.Found another chip in the paint. On Feb-07-12 at 08:50:51 PST, seller added the following information: Ok. I think all the pics have been posted based on people's requests. The new scrape appeared after the detailer left. I think he opened the back until it scraped our driveway. Sheesh! He also left me with cracks in the seats. Not sure what he used to clean them, but they are still a bit moist which appears as dark discoloration. It is drying slowly however. Needless to say, I'm disappointed. There will be no more changes/surprised to add here. Done posting, but I will still answer all of your questions. Thanks.
