This Beck Speedster is a replica of a 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster that was assembled in 2009 and acquired by the current owner in 2018. Finished in silver with a green soft top over red leather upholstery, the car is equipped with air conditioning, Coco mats, a retro-style radio, halogen headlights, a single grille decklid, a rear luggage rack, teardrop taillights, 15″ chrome steel wheels, and front disc brakes. Power comes from a 1.6L air-cooled flat-four fed by dual carburetors and paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. This Beck Speedster is now offered on dealer consignment with Florida title describing it as a 1957 CHMN.
The Beck Speedster features a fiberglass body mounted on a steel-tube chassis, and this example is finished in silver with a green convertible soft top. Exterior details include halogen headlights, a left side-view mirror, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, gold-finished Porsche Speedster badging, a single grille decklid, a rear luggage rack, teardrop taillights, and body-color bumpers with rub strips and chrome overriders. A tear is present in the soft top.
Chrome 15″ steel wheels wear matching hubcaps with full-color Porsche crests and are mounted with 155/80 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in red leather upholstery that extends to the dashboard and door panels as well as the boots for the shifter, parking brake, and heater control. Red carpets are protected by Coco mats, and additional interior elements include an adjustable-height rearview mirror, air conditioning, and a retro-style radio.
The banjo-style steering wheel wears a Porsche-crest horn button and fronts a central tachometer flanked by a 200-km/h speedometer and a combination gauge for engine temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 17k kilometers (~11k miles).
The 1.6L air-cooled flat-four is equipped with dual carburetors, an alternator charging system, an electric fuel pump, Bosch ignition components, and a Monza-style four-tip exhast.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
The Chamonix Karosserie body number 356000323 is shown above and matches the VIN listed on the Florida title, which carries a “replica” brand and describes the car as a 1957 CHMN.
