Introducing the 2022 Porsche 356 Replica
Ah, the Porsche 356 replica, a classic reborn! Assembled by Vintage Motorcars nestled in Hawaiian Gardens, California, this piece of automotive art was crafted in 2022 and snapped up by a discerning seller. Cloaked in pristine Ivory and nested over tan upholstery, this ride is energized by a 1,941cc flat-four engine paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. But wait, there’s more! From a tan convertible top to shiny 15″ alloy wheels and heated low-back bucket seats, this 356 Speedster isn’t just a car—it’s a statement.
A Glimpse Under the Hood
The heart of this machine is not just a standard engine; it’s got bits like:
- AS41 engine case
- CB Performance 69mm crankshaft
- VM2 camshaft
- 26mm Shadek oil pump
- Chrome ribbed aluminum valve covers
The most recent oil change? That happened back in July 2024. Need we say more?
Exterior Elegance
This fiberglass stunner sports an Ivory finish over a modified Volkswagen chassis. It flaunts features like a tan soft top, door-mounted swan-neck mirrors, and gold-finished badging. This beauty comes complete with removable side curtains. Talk about being convertible-ready!
Wheels and Brakes
Mounted with 15″ Vintage 190 alloy wheels, these babies come equipped with chrome hubcaps and MOMO tires. And when you need to stop this speeding chariot? You’ve got four-wheel disc brakes to ensure you do it in style and safety.
Inside the Classic
Step inside to find tan-trimmed, heated low-back bucket seats. You’ll find this high-end upholstery extending its reach to the dash pad, door panels, and even the rear parcel shelf. The floors and front trunk? Lined with Oatmeal German square-weave carpets. And let’s not forget the passenger grab handle, lap belts, or those fancy drilled aluminum pedal covers with classic Coco floor mats.
Dashboard Dynamics
Can we talk about this banjo-style steering wheel? It’s adorned with a Porsche-crest horn button and frames a central tachometer with a redline of 6,200 rpm. Not to mention the 120-mph speedometer!
Underneath the Glamour
This beast sends all its power to the rear wheels, thanks to a chromoly lightweight flywheel coupled with a four-speed manual transaxle featuring a 4.12:1 ring and pinion and a 0.82:1 fourth gear. Marvel at the additional underside photos available in the gallery to capture every angle of this magnificent machine.
From Chassis to Title
Curious about the paperwork? The chassis number 119221790 matches a Volkswagen Beetle from October 1968, just as it should according to its Georgia title. It’s an automotive history buff’s dream come true!
Ever wonder how a vintage beauty like this stacks up against a modern classic? Picture placing it next to a Volvo S90 or a sleek Hyundai. That’s a contrast as stark as day and night! The charm lies in its nostalgia, a throwback to simpler times, yet it’s a car that doesn’t hesitate to make its presence known.
So there you have it! Your front-row seat to everything incredible about the Porsche 356 replica. Ready to make it yours?
