Beck 550 Spyder

Beautiful car and fair price, Scott! Best of luck with the sale. 

Thank you!!! She is beautiful and I hate to sell her but want someone who can enjoy her more than I can. 

15,000 miles! That's well-driven for these types of cars, and I mean that in the best way. Beautiful example, good luck with the sale.

Thank you! Yes she is. Can't wait to see who will treat her well.

hi there... i had a 356 speedster for 7 years and its been 10 years since i sold it. I test drover a 550 spyder the other day and fell in love with it. Everyone i speak to, including  porsche enthusiasts who have other cars, said the 550 is a nice car but very uncomfortable and people dont tend to hold on to these cars long. I think it depends on the person and what their passion is but i would entertain having one , its unique, different, lots of history for sure,, and the drawback is when people see it, they immediately know its a kit car.  This is truely a sports car i love to have someday.  I'm 49 and loved the 50's and porsche history.  

 

What's been your experience driving your car?

Well, that might have something to do with Porsche only making 90 of them, I guess.

But look on the bright side - At least, with a replica, you can afford one.  Even the metal reproductions (only a handful built each year) are getting upwards of $1.2 million these days.

Special Edition, among others build bespoke 550's.

There are also some very nice privately constructed 550's as well.

I have a bespoke built Speedster. When people say it's a kit car I simply tell them that in my case it isn't, but there are some that have been purchased as kits. I could care less what people think. I don't show my car, I own it and drive it because I like it.

It doesn't rust, it is faster and better handling then the originals and if I stack it up I haven't destroyed a ridiculously valued automobile.

I put over 40K on mine until I got cut off and struck a guardrail. Stripped it clean and built it again, even nicer than the first one. Most fun you can have with your clothes on. Spydering since 2005..........

40k ?!!!   That has to be the most miles ever put on a Spyder, no?

Maybe. On here anyway. There may be higher mileage cars out there.

DannyP, how has it held up w/all those miles?  Any idea how much you’ve put into maintaining it over the years (other than the guardrail incident)?

Hi there,

I have really enjoyed driving my 550 but best on smooth roads as this car does have a rough ride due to the suspension with rough roads.   I love this car but have not had a lot of time to truly love this car the way it deserves which is why I am selling her to a new owner who shares the same passion I do.  This is definitely an eye catcher and sounds so good.   Are you looking at purchasing a 550 in the near future?  I just moved into an apartment which does not make it conducive to get much drive time in which is another reason why I am selling this beautiful car.

I live in Houston.

Beck 550 Spyder replica built in early 2000 and is number 184, which makes it a little rarer than others.

That's weird, it must have languished somewhere for a few years. I have #201 and it was first titled in 1996. 

Looks just like mind when I first bought it, except I have red interior, and no darts. 

Hello, is the car still available? I love the blue decals on the rear. I am looking to buy a Spyder in the next couple of weeks. Thank you!

@Scott Webster Scott, someone is inquiring about your Spyder.
