Real 1956 Speedster

Ebay has a real 1956 Speedster for sale, auction number 110142233905 There are some very nice photo you can copy to your computer for future references. I especially like the one that shows the trunk and gas tank.

That paint bubble is the deal breaker for me...

That car is awesome, but the trunk and interior just remind me how my car is NEVER going to be a replica of a real Speedster. I will be happy to settle for a nice clean 50's outlaw look.

I know the tube framed cars have a more similar interior but do any of them use that style of fuel tank?

Wow..deja vu...apart from the interior color my replica looks almost identical!

It looks like a nice car. If it was $20,000 I would be interested. Since I want to use my car all the time and may get damage or have to rebuild the engine or transmission during my ownership, I will be a lot happier with my IM Roadster, a really nice Diesel Pusher motorhome, and quite a few greenbacks left as change to travel all over the country enjoying this great country! I wish I was rich enough to spend that kind of money for a car that will either be a garage queen or cost a fortune to maintain and insure. Different strokes for different folks!

I agree with all of you. I would rather have a nice Beck, new gannet counter tops in my kitchen, a few top end classical guitars and a second generation Colt single action with one piece ivory grips. I think the is still some money left over for a new Mac computer.

I think it's a little sad that they are worth so much now, even with the "wrong" motor.

Not that style of gas tank but it would be cool to replicate it. Just a non-funtional cover for our existing tanks so it looks like an original. Like those battery covers they have to make Optima (or others) look like OEM units.

Well,hell I guess I did OK for $12,000

You did real well, and you won't have to get out the metal grinder and the bondo to fix the never ending rust that is eating away your $100,000 investment!
