My caretaking duties have come to an end with my beloved 356 Porsche Speedster Replica. This 1957 CMC Speedster Porsche Replica was built, per the previous owner, in 1979. It's a well sorted car, which has served my wife and I very well. We frequently (every 2 months) drive to Napa (90mi) and Sonoma(105mi) without any problems, ever. This 1957 Speedster is very tastefully prepared in, per the previous owner, signal red, black top, black 1/4 tonneau, black full tonneau, red/black dash, black carpets, 5 lug wheels w/ Porsche hubcaps, rally running lights (which stay on all-the-time for safety), rally hood straps, and light stone guards. It also had proper seats, stopwatch mounts for time trials and club rallies (I am keeping my working stopwatches, however the "show-non-working" watches will come with the car), shifter trim, dash eyebrow, and door panels prepared with speakers, but doesn't come with a radio. I love the sound of this car, fantastic music. This car is incredible in person. It's definitely an attention getter. It's just beautiful and will be missed. We're preparing another vehicle for historical races and have run out of room. This car owns the wood-floored garage. Living at home as a ornament in the garage pup. My personal museum-type piece shared with family and friends. It is fitted with a 1600 cc Engine, Italian vintage steering wheel (roughly near $2k on its own) and Black Dash Knobs and Shifter Knob. Speedster floormats (not shown, but will come with the car), 12V electrical, four wheel drum brakes, replica took kit, and owner's manual, Reutter Coachworks fender badge, and many other accents. I planned to do club rallys with the car, but haven't found any in our area and over the last few years I've fallen in love with Vintage Racing and therefore have decided to build a purpose built race car. So, this car was only used for wine trips with my wife and I. She's been treated very well; both of them. Titled as a 1957 Porsche making it exempt from emission or smog testing. Rare -- Comes with YOM plates! Will be transferred to the new owner! ($400 and a lot of work to get) There's a small tear on the driver's seat (see photos, not really noticeable in person).and there's a small patch in the convertible top. The gear box works fantastic, no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and strong. Just a fantastic drive. Cruise @ 70mph without any problems. I drive max 70 mph, never went above that as I didn't want the RPMs to go too high as I heard it's not good for these engines. All gauges are working and from a 914. First thing I did was replace the gauges with a set of nicely refreshed gauges. So they work very well. Being an older build, and from what I was told, restored 10 years ago, I'm not too sure how many miles are on it. I've done everything I can to make sure she's running well, who wants to be stranded over 100 miles from home, right? So I've made sure it's kept up with oil changes, mechanics, etc, ... The engine bay is sealed - Most CMCs are not. I will miss her, but we are only temporary caretakers and now she's ready to be handed off to someone who can continue to care for her.
