Dealer Comments

1957 Porsche Speedster | BECK Replica
The Porsche 356 Speedster is one of the most beloved classic cars of all time. Known for its low weight, simple mechanicals and stellar driving dynamics, the Speedster was a car that you could buy for a reasonable price from the Porsche dealership, drive to the track and start winning races with little or no additional preparations. Because they are so beloved, prices on real 356 Speedsters routinely cross the $350,000 mark in today's market with some trading hands far above that number. That being said, the recipe used to make the 356 Speedster wasn't all that complicated, and a market for replicas began popping up - some were better than others but one name that is frequently brought up in Speedster replica conversations is Beck. This company is known for producing both 356 Speedster and 550 Spider recreations and builds cars to a very high quality out of its plant in Indiana.
This is one of the Speedsters built by company owner Chuck Beck and has been finished to a very nice standard. It is believed to have been under the care of just two owners and is finished in a beautiful shade of Maroon that compliments the classic shape very well. When you order a Beck Speedster, there is a long list of options and modifications they can carry out during the construction of your replica to tailor it to your taste, but on the whole, this has been built with an eye towards looking like the original. Fitted with a tan canvas soft top and matching side curtains, this car was built in more of a "competition" specification with a louvered engine cover, wheels sans-hubcaps and a pair of fog lights affixed to the front bumper.
The interior is finished in tan with corresponding tan carpet and a pair of speedster-style lightweight seats. One of the ways that Porsche was able to shave weight out of the original Speedster was by offering it with a significantly stripped down interior. The Beck Speedster follows suit, offering little more than a pair of seats, Coco mats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a trio of gauges. That being said, this example does have a Pioneer sound system fitted which is a great addition for someone who plans to drive and enjoy this car.
In period, numerous engine options were available but most 356 Speedsters were fitted with an overhead valve air-cooled flat 4 with 1,582cc of displacement that produced 59 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful 356 available at the time was the Carrera- with its 4 cam motor, it produced closer to 110 horsepower and was more of a thinly veiled race motor than a road engine. Given that, it should be no surprise that this Beck Speedster, fitted with a 2.1-liter air cooled flat-4 with fuel injection is a rocketship, rated at a stout 125 horsepower. This engine sends power through a 4-speed manual transaxle to the rear wheels, just like in the original.
It is safe to say that the 356 Speedster has earned its spot among the greatest sports cars of all time and the high prices of the originals shouldn't keep you from having that driving experience. This Beck Speedster is quite faithful to the original, but with even greater performance and fantastic reliability meaning that you can use this car all the time and enjoy the Speedster driving experience for all it has to offer.
