Very rare and rarely offered high end Speedster build by Intermeccanica; arguably the premier Speedster Replica constructors.* Original build cost in excess of $90,000.* This is a modernized replica of the iconic 1958 Porsche Speedster.* While this car walks and talks like the real thing, under the body there is a completely modern drivetrain with a completely rebuilt liquid cooled and turbocharged 2.5 liter Subaru motor making some 240HP.* The motor is, like the original, an opposing 4-cylinder cylinder (boxer) configuration, so the weight is low in the chassis.* The motor as 4-valves per cylinder with dual overhead cams, a custom turbocharger, Kinetic Motorsports intercooler and a custom center outlet exhaust.* Power is conveyed thru a modern 4-speed transaxle with a reverse lockout shifter.* Along with a modern chassis, powertrain, suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes this Speedster has modern amenities on the inside as well.* These include air conditioning, AM/FM/CD with Bluetooth, power door locks and roll-up windows, and remote keyless entry.* Additionally, because of the modern engine management system, there are no cold startup issues or atmospheric driven problems that can often be experienced with carbureted motors.
For a fraction of the cost of a real Speedster, this car can be driven anywhere in comfort.* The A/C works in Florida and does not bog down the motor which is the case with the usual small air cooled motors.* The heater works great for winter driving.* Nothing better that taking a drive on a cold day with the top down, windows up and heater on high.* The car also rides nicely and brakes well, offering an enjoyable sports car experience.* The suspension is stiff enough to offer good handling but also compliant enough to make the drive enjoyable for your significant other.* This car is certainly up to an extended road trip.* Please be advised that you will get noticed a lot when out in this car. Price reduced to $49,500.
Note: * This car is being sold with a clean Florida title showing a model year of 1958.* The Seller offers NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY with this sale/purchase.* *Buyer is solely responsible for pickup or all shipping arrangements and associated costs.
