This car is a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder replica professionally built by Chuck Beck Motorsports in 2002. It has a 1915cc air-cooled flat four with a four speed gearbox and 3.88:1 rear axle. The engine makes about 130HP/130TQ which is enough to get only 1200 lbs. to move pretty well.

Love the car, I am thinking of selling my Ghia and building one. Have you had any problems with yours? Also, I would love to see what options you have and what you paid for yours. Stop by and check my site out.
