The first mass-produced Porsche to enter the world, the 356 is now one of the German automaker's most coveted classics. Introduced in 1948, it was made until 1965. Designed and engineered with direct involvement from Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, the 356 is a case study to this day as to how a sports car can be exciting without needing triple-digit horsepower figures. Sadly, finding an original Porsche 356 can be difficult, as well as costly. That's why we've got the replica market to thank for vehicles such as this 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster. Titled as a 1974 Volkswagen beetle, it originally started off as a Beetle with modifications to the frame and chassis while still keeping the heartbeat and touches from the original donor car as this California-registered car has been made to a very high standard. The car bears just 7,000 original miles, and the current owner reports it to be all stock, with nothing modified from the original donor.
Draped in a peaceful shade of Ivory paint, this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica showcases the timeless lines that make it a cult classic even in 2024. If you're getting faint Volkswagen Beetle hints, that's because Ferdinand Porsche is the man behind the original Beetle as well. It's no surprise that the original 356 shared some parts with the original Volkswagen Beetle; this excellent replica does as well. As it's a speedster, you've got a beautiful brown leather tonneau cover and side windows for some weather protection, but we'd recommend not taking this beauty out in heavy snowfall or torrential rain. The interior of this 2004 Porsche 356 Speedster is done in brown, with two leather seats and a spartan dashboard. You won't find creature comforts such as air conditioning, Apple CarPlay, or even a sound system. Instead, the driver gets a steering wheel, a gear shifter, and three pedals to control the car. Directly ahead is an analog instrument cluster that shows engine revs, road speed, fuel level, and coolant temperature. That's all you need, really.
This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster comes with it's original Volkswagen 1600cc air-cooled flat-four with twin carburetors, just like some of the original 356's from the 1950s did. Residing peacefully in the car's tail but ever eager to awaken, the engine enjoys dual carburetors and drives the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. It may not be a tire fryer, but this car is surprisingly nimble to drive thanks to its lightweight chassis.
Before the Porsche 911, the world was blessed with the legendary Porsche 356; it was a performance machine in every form and donned an iconic design that's forever timeless. Getting your hands on a Porsche 356 is challenging; its values have skyrocketed, and finding one is a dream for many. Present today is the next best option for Porsche 356 ownership, and it takes form with this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Widebody Replica. This machine is built by Vintage Motors in California and pays tribute to every aspect of the Porsche 356 in great detail.

Before the illustrious era of the 911, Porsche's mastery of the road and racetrack was embodied by the Porsche 356, a vehicle renowned for delivering joy and elegance in every mile. Locating a well-preserved Porsche 356 from any period poses a significant challenge, yet the discovery of this 1962 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster Replica is a notable exception, showcasing a blend of classic allure and remarkable upkeep.
When the Porsche Boxster was first introduced, it was designed to solve a very big problem for the company. At the time, Porsche was in dire financial health and needed a boost in sales to recover from its slump. So, the company designed the two-seat convertible to offer a more affordable entry to the Porsche brand. It was a sales hit, and by the second generation, the Stuttgart-based firm saw demand to provide a fixed-head version. Thus, the first-generation Porsche Cayman was born. The Cayman platform has been praised for its mid-engine layout, which offers different driving dynamics to Porsche’s rear-engine 911, with reviewers describing the Cayman S chassis as confidence-inspiring and rewarding. Our featured car is a 2007 Porsche Cayman S, which features a 3.4-liter engine and just 37,000 miles on the odometer.
When Porsche announced that it was going to make a four-door sedan, many were skeptical. The company was known for its purebred pedigree sports cars, such as the 911, Boxster, 928, and 944. A Porsche sedan seemed unthinkable to many. However, just as they did with the Cayenne SUV, Porsche proved the critics wrong. Reviewers were impressed by the car’s performance and handling, which belied its weight. The interior was luxurious and used high-quality materials, and it was a match for other high-end sedans from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. By 2016, the Porsche Panamera had received a facelift, and the company’s commitment to constant improvement ensured the car was at the top of its game. Our featured car is a Panamera Turbo. Much like its 911 relative, the Turbo moniker signifies one of the highest performance-oriented trim levels that was available. Featuring a twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8 engine, this Panamera Turbo offers all the luxury and practicality of a German sedan with all the potency expected from anything bearing the Porsche crest.
Porsche is no longer just a sports car brand. The German automaker has successfully branched out into offering performance SUVs. And while that may seem fairly normal today — what with everyone from Ferrari (with the Purosangue) to Lamborghini (with the Urus) now having some form of SUV offering — Porsche did it decades before any other sports car maker. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is a luxury SUV that offers practicality, with the same sporting pedigree that permeates all Porsche products. Belonging to the second generation of Cayenne, this model improved looks, added tech, and even improved the on-road experience. Our featured car is a well-spec’d example with a 4.8-liter V8 engine, all-wheel drive, and 82,500 miles on the clock.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
