Wanted to Buy or Trade - Beck 550 Spyder or similar

Marcel,

The Seduction Spyder wouldn’t be a bad car. Those are basically one of Greg Leach’s Vintage Motorcars Spyders that we’re finished by SM. Seduction made a lot of very nice billet parts that were installed on the cars that added a lot of nice detail to the cars. He would also finish the interiors etc for the final touch. 

Greg, MIGHT, be able to give you some details on the car but I have no idea on what records he might have kept on the cars he sold to Seduction. If the price is right it would be a nice car to have. 

What you probably mean is BHMotorcars has one advertised.  That doesn't mean they have that car available.  As many, many members have reported, they would love for you to come down to look at the advertised car and discuss them having one built for you.
Caveat emptor.

The BaT car looks really nice. If you like it, there it is.

@THERON, what I mean is Karl at BHM reports that has one, in his current inventory, with a new motor and trans installed, and it's 43000. My budget requires more of a pre-owned status.

However, I don't see it advertised online. At this point would just call him personally with my request.

I'd bit on the Seduction car in TX but I like to remain friends with the CA DMV

I would not fear the SB100 process for California. Greg and Outfront will likely have records of the sale. Or, contact the seller on BaT and see what records he has. That's a very nice looking Spyder.

I don't live in Cali so I've no experience with SB100. But from the guys who've gone through it on here and other forums, it doesn't look too daunting. Worst case scenario, wait until January when the next batch is open. At the beginning the 500 was gone in no time, but it doesn't look like that is an issue any more. Cheers.

This one?

Hey @MarkA

Thanks, awesome specs on that one. Which I could afford it but that one is a bit out of my reach at the moment. Appreciate the notice

It’s a dealer.  Go in w/some cash and negotiate them down...

Here are two more in Cali  -

This will help get the message across: @SimplifyTALightness someone posted a couple 550's for you.

I'm going to contact the Black one, thanks for the help! Hope it looks just as good in person.

Black one looks really nice but appears the whole exhaust system is upside-down. 

It's true I recognize a lot of the components but that seems about right, headers are usually seen mostly from under the transaxle. Always a story behind every vehicle. I'm headed that way, got to chase the dream.

@SimplifyTALightness

Best of luck in your Spyder endeavor, Marcel! 

Luck needed! Thank you, I'm in some negotiations now with the seller. @MarkA thanks again!

SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! New owner of a Beck Spyder, sealed the deal on the Tuxedo Black 550 in SoCal. Owe you one dude. Just signed the paperwork and will pick up the Beck this weekend. Comes with lots of great history since being ordered in 1992. The plan is lots of upgrades and detailing ahead and very much deserved. Going to make a great winter project, will look forward to showing off the Spyder to y'all soon.

-Marcel in Paso

Congratulations Marcel. I’ll see you in Paso.

Nice. 😉 enjoy. Subie motor?

Type 1 1776cc, dual webers, with some internal upgrades and an oil cooler setup.

@SimplifyTALightness forgot all we need is the picture of the car / driver with a big grin on his face 🍺🤙👍😎

That's a really interesting car.

@calmotion

Delivery day is this weekend, trying to find a trailer but I think I have one lined up from UHAUL

Did not want to drive it home?  I guess would be good to sort it first. It will be home soon. 

Crossed my mind, but no offense, sitting in LA 405 and 101 traffic w/ no top in August, would not be my ideal first ride. Test drive was fine and next stop is my mechanic at Westy Werks to get her all square. 

👍😎

@SimplifyTALightness Nice big smily face. 👍🤙👌👏🎉

Careful now, that grin will become permanent.
