Description

1971 VOLKSWAGEN 356 REPLICA PORSCHE. Beautiful, low milage, recently completed Porsche 356 Speedster Replica based on the Porsche built from 1948 to 1965 in six major types: 356/2 (“Gmünd”), 356 ("pre-A"), 356A, 356B (T5 and T6), and 356C. All years are nearly indistinguishable. All years had a horizontally opposed engine behind the driver. This car is powered by an air-cooled 1585 cc VW engine with modifications including dual (2) downdraft, high-performance carburetors, on opposite sides of the engine. This provides an even distribution of gas to the performance-built engine. “Bosch” high energy coil. Heavy duty, plug wires, electronic fuel pump, and more. Manual four-speed transmission with a beautiful real wood shifter knob. Body & Paint - Very aerodynamic body shape incorporates both form and function, with a striking resemblance to an upside-down "bathtub”. Vibrant bright red paint professionally applied over all fiberglass body. Porsche styled, stainless steel trimmed with black rubber inserts front and rear bumpers. Chrome bumper guards on both ends of the car. Vented engine trunk, deck lid. Porsche emblems. Immaculate black convertible top with a black snap down cover. Sideways tear drop rear taillights. Interior - black, bucket seats, floor shift. Real wood “Nardi Torino” performance steering wheel. Gauges and in dash tachometer. The interior looks brand new. Excellent condition carpeting door panels., dash components. McPherson strut front suspension and improved rear double-jointed half shafts, designed originally in 1967 for the AutoStick cars, is a much-improved rear suspension. All wheel disc brakes. The VW donor car featured a wider as well as longer frame, but had a much tighter, sports car oriented turning radius. Magazine road tests of the VW reported 0-60 mph in 16 seconds, and a quarter mile in 19.8 seconds at 65 mph. All this is the core of this famous model Porsche Replica. This car will not only draw a lot of attention, but it is extremely fun to drive. Sports car performance without an astronomical price. Chrome wheels with baby moon hubcaps & almost new, plenty of tread depth left “KUMHO” radial tires.

While we do our best to provide the highest quality muscle cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. That being said, we have not built, modified, changed or personally owned this vehicle. Whether this vehicle is consigned or owned by Past & Present Motor Cars we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we not only welcome but we encourage 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. We list our vehicles on multiple websites and a vehicle can sell at any time. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
