SUPER DEAL! There is no way you could build this car with these killer parts for the asking price, no way. I would buy it if I didn't already have too many toys.

What are you going to replace this Honey with Glenn ?
Mercedes canvas??????????
Mercedes canvas = hartz cloth (vice faux leather or pin point vinyl). Adds a much richer look and more authentic to 1950's.
Where in San Diego are you?
I think I saw your VW pics posted, Very Nice....
Don't forget us "Speedster" guys, your knowledge and input has impressed me in the past. Good Luck !

Mike- I'm located near Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego
Bryant- I won't stop contributing to this fine web site or this great hobby.
Bill- Thanks for the compliments. If I don't sell the car, no big deal. I'll just put my other projects on the back burner. Heck, it's Summer and I'd still love to drive her in this fine So CAl weather we have.

Glenn,
Drive it in the fine weather to Kelly Park. Then I can trade a very clean and vintage Formuling France Wheel and hub with button for that old wheel on you Speedster, maybe I can drum up some rare wide five lug drums and we can swap out those wide five lug discs.
I am not too far from Kelly Park, so it would not be a problem at all. I will even provide a warm lunch from one of the famous Northern California eaterys, (do you like burgers?)

This is a killer deal. Somebody better step up and buy this car!!! I want the steering wheel. If someone buys it, sell me the wheel, and the brakes, and the top , and the.........damn I want the whole car. Too bad I have an IM already.
Patrick- It's a screaming good deal
Bryant- Just purchased an early VW Beetle
George- You didn't get the good stuff for your IM?

Do IM speedsters like this have roll up windows? Or just side curtains. I got confused by the person buying a new Speedster but getting electric glass windows.

Jeff, there is an IM speedster (Like Glenn is selling) that has a much lower roof line and no roll up windows, and an IM Roadster (like I'm selling) that has a higher roof line and roll up windows. Just to confuse things, IM is now offering a new IM speedster with roll up windows. Hope this helps.

The reason power window are a cool thing is speedsters came only with side curtain by putting in power windows you can hide the the switch out of sight. Another reason replica,s are soon cool no one would put power windows on a real 356.
I wouldn't own one without rollups....when we drive on the interstate I like to roll up the windows, because I feel less vulnerable to road debris and less wind "bucking". And its nice for rainy moments.
Of course in a nice weather area who cares the windows would always be down anyway!!!!

I am very interested in purchasing a replica speedster. Could you be so kind as to email me some other photos. I have been looking very seriously at Vintage Speedsters' product. Since you arleady a speedster owner, I was wondering if you had any thougts on how the Intermacannica and Vintage, or Beck compare. It may be a stupid question, since Intermaccanica was a first-rate auto builder. It's just that alot of new things have been developed since Intermeccanica stopped building them.
Also, since the pan is '67, I was wondering if the YOM plates are just for show? What year is on the registration.
Finally, I'm in Torrance, just south of LAX...are you in the San Diego area? I would love to purchase and drive home, if you know what I mean.
Thanks for your time, and I'm really interested!! Not just a tire-kicker.
I guess I might as well ask...how negotiable is the price. I am not looking for some give-away or steal; I know the market for these cars. Anything you can add would be appreciated.

Sold the Speedster earlier this week to the friendliest couple I've met through this site. It now off to Switzerland with it's new owners Peo & Matilda Marcoli. Enjoy the car & I'll see you in '07, if not sooner!
Congrats on selling the car Glenn.
Will you be at Kelly Park this year?
Will you be at Kelly Park this year?
Of course I'll be at Kelly Park this year. Just 3 weeks away. Are you atending the Bug-In the Sunday prior? VW events happening every Sunday this Month (Bug-In on the 10th, Red Barn on the 16th, Phoenix Bug O Rama on the 16th, Kelly Park on the 17th, Pomona Swap on 24th & Bob Baker on the 31st) Then we've got the Sacto Bug O Rama in May just before the VW Classic in June. Here comes the show season....
Glenn,
will be at Kelly Park. I don't think the Notch will be there. The 56 Rag should be painted Strato Blue tonight, Going with the correct red interior for 56.
Sac for sure.
Bug-in, no, The Classic...I hope so.

Patrick- Oh no, not another Strato Silver (L227) painted oval.
Love the L227 with red interior. The color should be fairly close to the original. I had a formula made in Dupont. Looks good. Car will look stock short of the Fuchs and motor.
Hello Glenn,
Mathilde and myself would like to thank you very much for the warm welcome in San Diego and especially in your nice family. As I already told you, I enjoyed the adventure of coming all the way from Switzerland to buy the car of my dreams, but I appreciated even more the spontaneous hospitality and the time that you have taken for us.
I hope that the planned evolution process that your car will go through in the next future, will make you happy as well!
Greetings from Switzerland,
Peo & Til

Hey Peo- No problem at all. I'm glad we met and I was able to sell the car to a true enthusiast that will be incredibly happy with the car. We'll see each other again when I visit in '07 for Bad Camburg. If not then, maybe even sooner.
