1957 356 Vintage Speedster

Is this build is a Vintage Speedster built out here in Hawaiian Gardens Calif. ?.......Bruce

That's correct. Phil, the GM at Beachwood Porsche had it built I believe 2 years ago. I bought it from him last June. 

Beautiful! GLWS!

Good looking. Can you please add additional details for buyers : location, engine size, options and so on 

Absolutely. It's the upgraded 1915cc engine. 120hp. I'll have some more pictures tomorrow to highlight the options. It is located in Bridgeport, WV. 

Here are a few more detailed pictures of the car. It is the upgraded 1915 engine. Everything is in perfect working order. The car comes with a car cover, tonneau cover, soft top, wired battery tender, Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth wired to the steering  column for hands free cell service. The leather is perfect and all seams and lines are even. Everything is as it should be.

This car was originally built for the GM of Beachwood Porsche. I purchased the car directly from him approximately a year later (June 2018). Absolutely perfect in every way. Solex carbs and under-dash Bluetooth head unit. Paint and engine are pristine. Check valve in the fuel overflow line so no gas smell with hard left turns. Barely any miles (km's) at all. Always stored indoors. Out of all of my cars, this one turns the most heads. Hate to see it go but I don't have the chance to drive it. These are the dealership pictures from when I purchased the car last summer. Title in hand. $32,000.  

Beautiful car! Can anyone shed some light on this bit?

"Check valve in the fuel overflow line"

I have the left-hand-turn spillage issue. I've tried repositioning the hose, to no avail, and would love to install a check valve to prevent this. Does anyod=ne have a part number and/or source for said check valve?

I can. What you need is a breather hose gas cap vent from an offroad motorcycle or ATV. Amazon has them for around $6. You can also install a check valve but it's not necessary. Roughly the same price. Install vent in the fuel runoff line that's in the passenger wheel well. No more gas smell. Takes 5 minutes.

 Something else I also do is loop the fuel line over the hood the hood hinge so that it’s higher than the gas cap.  When I get home I will take a picture.

Be careful with the check valve.  I had a check valve that allowed air into the tank but wouldn't allow anything to go out of the tank.

When I filled up with cold gas it expanded as it warmed and made a bulge in the top of the tank.

I now have the hose with no valve and have a 360-degree loop up as high as possible in the fender well.

Good point. I actually just use a breather valve and not a check valve. Coupled with the vented gas cap,  no issues yet!

I've been using that valve for 5 years and haven't had an issue. The vented gas cap allows air into the tank not out of the tank because it would allow gas fumes into the atmosphere. If you haven't had an issue it's not because of the gas cap.

I've been using one for almost 20 years (I got it in a salvage yard from a Ford V8).   They're used all over the place in a lot of cars.

I spoke with Andrew today regarding his Vintage Speedster and it is, a super nice car at a great ready to drive price. If anyone who would be a serious buyer and like me to look at it in person and do a walk around I am just under an hour from Andrew.  I have to go through Bridgeport,  West Virginia this Saturday.

I love that color combination. It's beautiful!

Good luck with the sale!

120 hp? 

That’s correct or at least that’s what I’m told. I’ve never had it on a dyno to confirm but it runs incredibly well.

Do you know what heads (valve sizes) and camshaft are in it?

Unfortunately I don’t.

Here’s the photo:

I run the hose off the small neck nipple, I use a restriction piece in the hose so that there is the smallest hole ( 64th ")  to allow for air but restricts any noticeable gas sloshing out the hose.

Dropping the price on this one! $30k takes it!

***Sold*** 

Good speaking with to  you the other day....Glad you sold local to Mike and got to meet my buddy Tom too.  ~Alan

Good speaking with you too. Tom and Mike were great. I think Mike got a good car at a good price. It’s always fun getting together with car guys. I think they got a kick out of some of my other cars. If you’re ever up here in Bridgeport give me a shout and we’ll grab coffee.
