356 Coupe Replica Wanted

One of our members, Brandon, is considering selling his coupe. It's a bad a$$ coupe so it won't be cheap. Send him a PM and ask him if he has decided to sell it or not. We were trying to convince him to keep it and sell something else.

Thanks Wolfgang. Website was not kept updated. These JPS's were sold. But I thank you just the same. Sometimes I feel I'll run out of time looking. But it won't be because this forum isn't trying to help. Really appreciate that.

Seduction Motorsports is working on a pre-A bent window coupe and Special Edition (Beck) is developing a 356C coupe recreation that will be available in either mid- or rear- engined configurations with several drivetrain options including Subaru and Porsche.  Not sure when either will be available or what the prices will be.

Yes. Have much respect for Seduction. In touch with Daniel. No data on Beck yet. Fear I am a bit short ($$$) for new Seduction build at this time. Can anyone say "Porsche taste and Volkswagen money"? Maybe not that bad but pushing my limits.

Kitman Motors is selling coupe rollers and you'd need to finish it yourself and supply the engine. 

Hey Lane.  Why doesn't Carey just build an Envemo Super 90 in Coupe and convertible versions with rear engine Subaru.  He'd make a killing.  Particularly the coupe crowd would love these.  And they would be competition for Henry's Ds.  He's already got the molds and the tooling unless those were sold off in the South American fire sale. 

I like the Envemo but I prefer the A Coupe IMO. I was looking for one before I bought my first IM. 

Brandon's coupe is the one to get!! 

Or, A VS with hard top.

Nice rear window, good visibility, I would think.

I don't know Ray.  This thing looks pretty sweet.  JPS Coupe vs Beck Envemo.  I'll take the 356C.

I like it a lot .... but then I just happened to fall on this video from the original owner who was a Die Hard Fan...  Sorry Phil... had to post it.

I would probably consider an envemo in black and make the bumpers smaller like the white one Chip Foose did ... 

RobertM. Too old to build and hoping I could find used with some sorting already done.

Phil. 356C. Isn't that a "modern" car. Ha. Nice.

UR-Ray. Sweet. Man, you can sure hear him coming. No need for a horn. Saw he had roll ups. Isn't this technically an SC?

Yall got my head spinning with all this fine input.

 

Bill. Agreed. I think he may be considering a room addition. Funny...so much interior design and I don't even use a radio. Love the sound of a well-tuned motor in the morning.

Is that COUPE with the FUCHS a replica or A real true 356C?

Banzai Dude:

The black coupe with the Fuchs is an Envemo.  They were splashed (the mold was taken) from a 356B (note the different shape of the front of the hood - more flattened at the bottom, among a lot of other differences).  I think Carey Hines at Beck still has one.

They were VERY high quality cars that have been out of production for years, now.  One used to show up at Carlisle now and then - I would go over just to drool upon it.

If you see one, jump on it fast as they usually sell pretty quickly.

here is what I meant with smaller bumpers. 

More picts here including a smaller rear window.

That white/beige/? coupe is nice.......I want one.......Little FOOSE COUPE

Have you reached out to Greg at Vintage Motorcars?

Yes. Contacted Vintage, Seduction, and two others that are less established. No new IM for my budget. Some deals better than others. For example, one can do SUBY at the same price other does VW. But the rest of the features basically the same. I need used with 2000+ miles and some sorting which is why I posted the thread here. Trying to talk one of you out of yours. Ha. I "just" want a mild outlaw...roll ups, AC, and no radio and trim shaved.

There are two Vintage companies. Vintage Speedsters in SoCal &

Vintage Motor Car in NorCal. They make a Spyder and a coupe.

This is one that Beck/SE has (had - its 2008?). A real beauty.  I'd prefer the Envemo over a true Porsche simply for ability to drive it without great fear of loss and the rust factor.

I think in an old post, Beck folks said they considered bringing it back but the car was too complicated to build, economy to depressed, and cost would be too great to build.

@4Banger

Motocarlo found this one for you. 2110cc w/ AC

JPS's body work and paint jobs are said to be awesome.

Agree with Art - El Fazzios (sp?) Merlot colored JPS has a beautiful paint job.  JPS isn't know for a water tight coupe or perfect engines though.

That Car Gurus silver one is nice and priced right - not many pictures though.

Thanks Montecarlo snd Robert M. Jumped on it and car was bought and sold one day. I knew this car and last week made guy offer pending funds transfer for my Zipper sale. He got anxious and took the same amount from another. Guess he didn't realize I was serious. Car sold for $29k...dealer flipped it in one day for $35k. The one that got away...TWICE. Ha. So far the "best" deals for quality are Leach and Seduction. Going to buy lotto tickets now.

I'll be using Greg for my next project. It will be a coupe. Once I get the engine sorted in my Speedster, I'll start the planning phase for the coupe...

I was recently at his shop and noticed a few coupes in the works. One had a pretty cool (and different) design to it; it was awesome! I'll let Greg go into details and share when ready, but it was pretty sweet...

What price range are Greg's coupes? I did not see any  info on his website about them.

I agree-the sound of that flat six hitting 7000 rpm would get irritating real soon.

Tell me about it.....I got a rotten headache! I've had it......darn it!!   Save me please ........take it off my hands: IM6 for sale

I got $46 in my wallet.

Done DEAL...but I only accept PAYPAL cuz I'm NOT sure I can trust you?  Let's make it a round $50? Cover shipping and handling??

Suuuuuure!

I've had my JPS Subie coupe for a year and a half now and love it. I drive it quite a bit considering it's just my toy car. I haven't had any issues yet except for a finicky passenger power window that seems to have fixed itself.......very fun cars!

I can testify to that....I have driven Porsches since 1965 and my JPS Coupe has a better paint job.... the body panels are not as good a fit as the real ones, but the paint and interior are just as good or better without all the F'ing computer crap that needs constant attention....keep it simple stupid is IMHO the best approach...
