2000 Beck Spyder for sale in Indiana

I bought the silver and red leather Spyder from Chuck Beck new in 2000; it was assembled by Chuck and Frankie; it has the Pat Downs 2165 with 44 Webers; front discs, rear drums; Nardi and original wheel; top included, never used. It has been incredibly reliable. Adult driven, never raced nor wrecked nor bumped, no track time, never overrevved; oil changed about every 1500-2000 miles. 23,000+ kilometers= about 13,800 miles. The paint is great except on the nose, this area was not particularly robust on Beck's of this vintage I'm told, numerous small chips, when I asked Chuck he said they look better this way, after all they were old race cars; I think so too. I've owned lot's of old sports cars, this has been my favorite; a similar project beckons. The motor cooked at 1000 miles for some reason; packed it up called Chuck and Pat; they sent me a new motor no questions asked; can't say enough about these guys. Since then no problems. Price new including shipping was around $27,000; now $19,500. Fred O. Butler 317 873 5288 Not too good at sending email images yet I'll work on this and try to attach them.

id love to buy it if i can sell my speedster

Is your car still for sale?

The car is still for sale. Fred

Keep the Spyder. Sell me the 356. Looks like a '61 and it seems to be in great condition. Actually, if the Spyder is still available, please send me an email at kruttschnitt@optonline.net I'd love to discuss it with you, but I can't get out to look at it until mid-August. I will look forward to your communication. I'm new to the Spyder world, but I am very familiar with the Beck, as I have a couple of Speedsters. Thanks.

Ill sell you the speedster

Roland, Thanks for the offer. I already have two Speedsters. Fred's 356 is a Coupe, and I doubt very much that it is a repro, because Coupe repros are a rarity. If it is not an Envemo Coupe from the '80's (made for a while in Brazil) it's the real deal.

Hi fred, I'm interested to know about drivers leg room. I'm 6-4, how tall are you? I had a Karmann Ghia way back in the 70s, & wonder if its similar or worse than that car?

dear herb
The 356 is for sale, it's a 1964SC without ANY rust, great paint and runs like a top, the motor was rebuilt 3000 miles ago($9000) by Daughtery and Son in Louisville, unfortunately the numbers no longer match since I hade to replace my case; Ken put in the 86mm big bore piston to displace 1750cc; retained the large valve SC heads; runs very well. Ruby Red grey leather, does have a small hole in the headliner as its only defect, just completed $1000 brake job on the standard 4 wheel disc brakes; I've got about 35,000+ in it would sell for $22,000. Want to sell one or the other, prefer to sell the 356 since am planning to do a 356A outlaw. Call me 317 873 5288 for details; couldn't get your email to work. Fred

Dear Bernie
I'm 6'1" and have plenty of leg room; I reversed the seat rails on the driver side and added about 3 degrees of backward tilt to the seat with the spacers originally on the back of the seat which lowered the sitting position about 3/4 of an inch, allowed for full seat motion and made it alot more comfortable; I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that figured this out. Fred

Fred,
I will be traveling to Texas (from New Jersey) the week after next. I could swing through Indiana on some sort of connecting flight. I will give you a call over the weekend to discuss it. Isn't it amazing what lengths we will go to in the pursuit of our toys?!

Is your spyder still for sale?

Dear John
Both cars are still for sale

Fred

Hey roland I'm looking for a speedster. Why don't you give me some details and I'll see if I'm interested.

Fred,I am int. in your Beck 550.The leg room issue is important-i am 6'4".Were you referring to the seat mod. on the 550 or 356.Also you can call me>>>>Rick,707-812-6200.Thanks.

Dear Rick
you would have leg room in the spyder; if your physiology is normal your head would be high in regard to the front glass however; no sweat in the '64 356 plenty of head room and leg room; ditto in the 911's. Fred
PS the spyder's still for sale and price reduced.

What are the current prices? i still may be interested.

Thanks
Tom
