Looking For JPS Coupe Info | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Former Member

My first post here. I'm looking for some info on the JPS Coupe and thought I would try here before contacting JPS since I live back east and it seems some of you are keeping pretty close tabs on the progress.

Does anyone have a feel for the production rate once they get going and if there is already an order backlog. Also, I'm curious if you think that at some point they will offer kits?

I'm burned out on restoring but still want to build something. I just don't think I can go through another round of the stripping, sanding, degreasing, scraping, sandblasting, etc. part of restorations. I've almost purchased a Spyder several times and would really like to have a 356 but this coupe really got my attention. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

there is one sitting next to my speedster that John is building at JPS. You can see it in my pics. I would call John and speak to him. You wont find a nicer guy

Agreed. John is very nice & super helpful. He helped me out with a technical problem right over the phone, no questions asked.
