1957 Porsche Speedster 356 Wide Body

1957 Porsche Other coupe Description

Bought this 1957 Porsche Speedster 356 widebody replica on an impulse buy. Wanted to compete with my brother with his 1960 Triumph TR3 convertible. Well turns out my brother ended up going to Kansas to buy me a 1966 Shelby Cobra instead. So now I am selling the Porsche Speedster.
First off I don't know much about the car. It runs and drives, but as with all old cars, you will need to adjust the engine for Optimal Performance.
Ok on to what I do know. This car features a fiberglass wide body replica body kit of a 1957 Porsche Speedster. The car runs and drives but previous owner decided to put octane buster 4in1 into the car, which did the opposite of make the car run better. The car idles low once in neutral and has the tendency to shut off at stops. (Might need a carburetor asjustment). Once this tank of gas is finished the car should be back to normal idle. Car also does have a oil leak ( but what old foriegn car doesn't ) so this is an easy fix. (Seals) besides that i was told the engine was a 1900cc engine. 4 speed manual transmission also. All gears work and reverse as well.
The body of the car is fiberglass as said above. That being said you can see the cracks in the paint in my pictures above. Paint looks great from far away. Once you get within 2f eet those cracks pictured above, start to show. So could need a new paint job if your picky.
Don't know much about the chasis just that it is off a 1971 VW which is what the Clean California Pink Slip is listed under. I just paid for reg till 2019. So the car is registered in California in my name.
Interior could use a little detail. Please zoom in on pics to get more of an idea. Has a cd player with attachments usb, etc. Gauges all work. Cloth seats are a blessing when having the car sit in the hott California sun all day. Car does not have a top. It does however have a rear cover for the back half.
Some light bulbs i believe need to be replaced like the passenger headlight and parking light.
Basically someone took care and put alot of money into this car. If you put a little more you can have the perfect car. Tires are basically brand new like 80% tread. Wide tirea in the back. This car is fast. It keeps up with my Cobra which has a 302 in it.
If your local you are more than welcome to come check it out. I will not be delivering the car. (Don't have that much time in a day) You are free to come check the car out anytime after 6pm weekdays or all day Saturdays.
