1957 Porsche Speedster
Super Wide Body Replica
$24,750
1957 356 Speedster "Super Wide Body" replica built in
2007 by Vintage Speedsters.
Just in time for the spring 2011 driving season. All Speedsters turn heads, but this Speedster will make heads spin like Linda Blair in the Exorcist! If you're looking for fun and excitement and you like the idea of "the wind in your hair," but think a motorcycle is too dangerous or, you already have a motorcycle, but your significant other is tired of riding on the back and you want something that is just as exciting, but more comfortable and way more classy, then this car is for you! More fun and much more comfortable than a motorcycle, costs about the same as a Harley, you can't fall off of it and there is This Super Wide Body Speedster comes with an eye catching, special clear coated metallic Pewter paint job and it just shimmers! It has a beautiful Buck Alante interior and was factory built by Vintage Speedsters in 2007, so you know it was done right.

This Speedster has only been driven 1,600 actual miles since it was built. It has never been driven in the rain and the exterior, interior, top and side curtains are in excellent, like new condition. The custom polished 17 inch wheels are simply spectacular and the tires still have the little "nubs" on them.
Wow, Troy, I really like the flare on those fenders. That is VERY nice. They start up high - the lines are great.
Didn't mean to distract - best of luck with your sale.

If that script and awesome pics don't sell that bad-boy, I don't know what will.
Nice job, Troy! Best of luck!

Nice ad, Troy. It should move quickly.

Spectacular!
If you don't mind sharing some info, what is the exact paint color and manufacturer? I am going to have some fiberglass repair done to my speedster and am considering fresh paint that is deeper than the current silver.
Good luck with your sale. I hope you turn it quickly and for the price you want!

@ BobG. According to Kirk, the color is Pewter and it's off of a 1992 Jeep Laredo. He said the color code is PPG DBU4274, but when I Googled it and went to some PPG color charts, I could not find it.
There was a request for some more pictures of the engine and a video of it running, so I took some and added it to the web site link. The video isn't the best, but oh well.

The Pewter Imposter has found a new home in Georgia. The new owner is named Ben and I'll be telling him about the S O C.

Im looking for a wide body to purchase. anyone know of any on the market?
Wait two weeks from today and I'll have a just completed unique Auto Classico's flared wide body done at Carlisle. ~Alan
Whos the builder? Color?
Jayson,
Is it just a coincidence that the car I just sold went to someone in Alpharetta,GA?

I'm the builer(24 builds to date) Guards red w/ black and chrome interior.
You can't go wrong with one of Alan's build.
Seconded. Alan builds a heck of a car.
Troy,
I just read that you sold the car. I sent you a message on ebay asking the same thing. This car has all the detailing that I want in a speedster. The color was perfect. How can I get my hands on one without building it? Vintage built the car, correct?

Hello Jayson.
It's a pretty big coincidence, but the Pewter Speedster I just sold went to a guy who lives in Alpharetta,GA...your home town!
There are only a couple of ways to "get your hands on one of these cars," order one from Vintage or JPS or buy the blue one I will be selling soon and have it repainted Pewter.

I contacted vintage yesterday. I see alot of their cars online. Can you or someone on here give me some insight on the differences between Vintage and JPS? Is JPS a good builder? I know they offer a coupe, which I may be interested in as well, but how do they match up to Vintage?
Best to do a search herein, review the differences and workmanship and you will arrive at a best choice.
Jayson, I started a thread as I had the same question. Look in the vendor Specific section.
Steve, I read your thread after posting this. Good information but no real thoughts on the matter. Did you come to a conclusion? I think I am looking for a coupe. As Vintage does not do coupes, SAS does. There seems to be a difference of opinion on the chrome around the windows. I am more concerned about the details as far as alignment and build rather than cosmetics. i do believe VS does build a great cab, so i am still up in the air as to which direction to go. I am in the Greensboro, NC area and still have not seen one of these cars up close. Carlisle and Pismo is too far to travel at the moment, so if there are any cars in the area that anyones knows of, I would be happy to view some examples.
If you can wait until September, join us in Asheville. There will be a number of cars there to compare and contrast. Check out the "Planning...Smokies..." thread in the Events forum.
Thanks Lane
Troy, I am wondering if the gentleman you sold it to would mind showing me the car...
Jayson. Are you in Greensboro or Alpharetta? I sent the new owner of the Pewter imposter you email address and told him you would like to see the car. It will be up to him to respond.
