Let’s face it: it is an unsafe car, it does not brake very well, it has an engine that produces more or less the same power as a Fiat Panda, the winter heating is poor as well as the waterproof seal of the hood and, finally, it is very expensive. But there is also a… Read More Freedom of choice: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
One of ebay’s most watched cars these days is this Speedster from 1956, and I guess the reason is clear to you. The reason is – think about how things change over the years – dust. Until the 1980s, this car’s only destination would have been the junkyard, where it would have been cannibalized of… Read More Dusty but not rusty: 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster
There are not a few 356 Speedsters around, in any condition, but very few still have the original hardtop which, by the way, has a beautiful design. In fact, I don’t like spiders with the hardtop because to me it “kills” the character of a spider (and very often makes it uglier) however, as with… Read More Hard-Top: 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster
If there is a cliché about a vintage car, this Speedster is its plastic representation: black, red interior and paint worn by time. 62 years have passed since the construction of this 356 Speedster, assembled in Germany two years before the year in which the film Back to the Future (which I am watching while I… Read More Just enough scraped: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
We are often puzzled by how wide can be the price difference of these cars: of course conditions matter as well as the originality and the numbers of the car, but you can easily find the same kind of car for sale with a price difference of $50-100k with no apparent reason. This particular car… Read More Special brakes: 1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster
Indeed. Porsche enthusiasts know well that, aside from the Carrera, this is the most sought after Speedster as only 200 were built in the first producion year, 1954. Zero description by the seller so you will have to settle on what we say about this car: as just written this car belongs to the first 200… Read More Blind red: 1954 Porsche 356 T1 Speedster
The seller of this 356 Speedster project says that this is the last chance to buy his car as he’ve already dropped the price and the car is absolutely worth the money. That’s because this is actually a project where most of the job – of course related to the metal work – has been… Read More Last drop: 1957 Porsche 356 A T2 Speedster
This 911 Speedter is said to have belonged once to the dutch actor Rutger Hauer, mostly known to have acted in the movie Blade Runner (the first one) as the Nexus-6 replicant Roy Batty. The car too seems some kind of replicant: it was born as a 911 Speedster but then something happened: the car… Read More Blade Runner: 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster
This Porsche Speedster is titled as a 1955 car but actually, because of the chassis #80087, it is one of the first batch of 200 cars built from September to December of 1954, making it a valuable car. Unfortunately the car has not a matching number engine: the car is equipped with the actual engine since… Read More Blank engine: 1954 Porsche 356 Speedster
The lovers of cars from the thirties would goggle seeing this project and they are partially right: partially because only half of this car is a real Speedster. The seller says that years ago he started looking for a Boat Tail Speedster project: he was unable to find one so he ended up buying a 1931 Auburn… Read More Half car: 1931 Auburn 8-98 “Boat Tail Speedster”
