This beautifully built Porsche 356 Speedster replica combines classic open-top styling with a thoughtfully upgraded drivetrain, suspension, braking system, and interior. Built by Vintage Speedsters in Goodyear, Arizona, the car features a fiberglass Speedster body mounted on a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis and is finished in an attractive metallic gray complemented by a black convertible soft top, side curtains, and matching boot.

The exterior captures the unmistakable character of the classic 356 Speedster, with mesh headlight grilles, LED headlamps, teardrop taillights, black Speedster fender badging, a single-grille decklid, and body-color bumpers with chrome overriders. The car sits on 17-inch Hot Rod By Boyd forged alloy wheels, finished in black with polished lips and wrapped in 205/50 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, giving the car a purposeful stance while maintaining its vintage-inspired appearance.

Under the rear decklid is a built 2,110cc air-cooled flat-four, featuring a forged rotating assembly with an 82mm chromoly crankshaft, 90.5mm Mahle pistons and cylinders, and chromoly H-beam connecting rods. The engine is further equipped with EMPI GTV-2 dual-port cylinder heads, an Engle W120 camshaft, 1.25:1 HD rocker arms, dual Weber 40 IDF carburetors, MSD ignition components, high-rev dual valve springs, and a sidewinder-style exhaust system. Supporting upgrades include a Gene Berg extended-capacity oil sump, external oil cooler with electric fan, remote oil filter, and aftermarket crankcase breather.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle fitted with a “Freeway Flyer” gearset and 3.88:1 ring and pinion, providing a combination of classic manual-transmission character and highway-friendly gearing.

The chassis has also received significant upgrades. Mendeola front and rear multi-link independent suspension works with Fox adjustable coilovers, while braking is handled by Wilwood calipers and drilled and ventilated rotors at all four corners. Together with the upgraded wheels and tires, these components give the Speedster a substantially more modern mechanical foundation than a stock-style replica.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in brown leather, with matching leather extending across the dashboard pad, door panels, and rear parcel shelf. The fixed-back bucket seats are complemented by a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, tan German square-weave carpeting, and Coco mats. Additional details include lap belts, rally timers, a CoolRydes Signature Series drilled pedal assembly, carbon-fiber shift knob, and a fire extinguisher.

For entertainment and convenience, the car features a hidden Bluetooth-capable audio system connected to an Alpine subwoofer and integrated five-channel amplifier, allowing modern functionality without compromising the clean vintage appearance of the cockpit. The original RetroSound stereo has also been retained and accompanies the car.
