Hey,
I'm looking to buy a Speedster near LA that I can check out and drive. Preferably bigger than a 1600cc engine, and minimal miles. Would like a color other than black or silver, with light interior.
Please private message me with any leads.
TIA

@Troy Sloan Paging Troy Sloan, Troy Sloan. Someone looking for a Speedster.
You should also consider bidding on @Terry Nuckels Terry Nuckles Speedster which is currently on BaT. Terry has been a member here for some time and is well liked (not by me but others) I kid I kid, and won't do you wrong. He can answer any questions about the car. It has a very nice motor and a five speed which is rare and very expensive to get. The car is in excellent shape and has been cared for very well.
Terry's car is in Auburn, CA which wouldn't be too far to go to see it.
Beautiful car but not a fan of the color.
Light weight Mahle wheels and Berg 5 speed transmission!
I painted my 914 Porsche that copper color - I saw it on a 924 Porsche. You probably not see another one that color. I can't believe bidding is up around $30k yet.
If you're not looking for a Silver car, you probably won't like my Outlaw and if you're not looking for a Super Widebody you probably won't like my Dark Blue Super Widebody, but if you are IT'S A BEAUTY! They can both be seen on my website. https://www.replicaspeedsters.com

Thanks Troy. Yeah, I’m not looking for an outlaw nor a wide body. If you hear of a classic speedster availed, please let me know.
Still looking for a speedster? I may let mine go... I’m in San Diego.
Hey @James007
Thanks for reaching out. I actually found and bought one a few months ago from a member. Had to do some work on it, but have been enjoying every moment.
Yours is beautiful though. Why are you letting it go?
Good you found one! Just saw your post, I was bored last night and went through classifieds.
I am thinking of selling it because I have many toys and need the space, so I need to sell either the Speedster or the Defender, I also have a ‘50 Studebaker Champion that I would sell, but I got probably more money on it than what it’s worth, so I am not considering selling it yet... My daily driver is a Cayman S, so I need a real daily driver so need to let go one of the least used toys so I can park a new car indoor. Of course it’s hard to let one go, that is why I haven’t taken the next step to list them, but probably when covid situation is controlled, I will list both the Defender and the Speedster, maybe in January...
Definitely keep the Defender - I don't think you'll have a problem selling the speedster. They've been getting a lot of great prices on BaT (don't know how the commission works), but you'll get some good money on there for your speedster. It shows beautifully.
Never heard of BAT till now, they have interesting cars for sale! Only $99 to list and 5% final value fee for the buyer, not bad! Thanks for the tip, will keep them in mind.
There are always fun and interesting cars on there. Speedsters (real and replica) pop up a couple times a month, and the replicas sell anywhere between $30-75k
That’s what I’ve been thinking, I can always build a Speedster, and Defenders will be harder to find, but the Def 90 is sooo uncomfortable to drive, it definitely looks better in my garage than the joy of driving it, but I’ll have all winter to think about it 🤔
I am looking for a speedster. When you are ready, let me know what you would be looking for. Thanks Ron
I'm currently preparing two White traditional Speedsters. A Beck with a Red interior and Vintage with a Blue interior. Both are beautiful.
Haven’t really advertised it yet, but if you are really interested, I’m in San Diego, can drive a few miles north so you don’t have to drive all the way south. Will let it go for $30k.

Hey @Spider
Are you looking for one? Or are you selling yours? Can't tell from your message. But as I said above, I already bought mine earlier this this year and I'm loving it (except for the recent garage stays).
If you're looking for one, the one belonging to @James007 linked above looks like an awesome one. Check it out. @Troy Sloan also always has some great ones for sale.
Hey @James007 - just wondering: what are specs on yours? Builder/Year? engine? special mods?

Update to my earlier post. Besides the two I mentioned, I also have a Black with Tan traditional Vintage Speedster.
