While the Porsche 911 claims the spotlight as the marque's most renowned model, the roots of Porsche's legacy delve deeper, notably into the cherished era of the 356. Eclipsed by the 911's fame, the 356 holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. Spanning from 1946 to 1965 across four iterations, the 356 embodies a timeless allure that persists among classic car connoisseurs. Original 356s are elusive, prompting the emergence of replicas like this 1957 Porsche 356 Replica, meticulously adorned with authentic Porsche badging. Fresh from a paint correction and waxing, this classic replica beckons exploration.
Contrary to its German origins, the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica embraces a British Racing Green exterior, complemented by a tonneau cover. A faithful recreation of the original 356's sleek lines, steel wheels, and chrome hubcaps accentuate its aesthetic authenticity. Complete with a tan convertible top and windows, this replica seamlessly combines classic charm with modern versatility. Within the cabin, simplicity reigns supreme. Brown low-backed seats, accompanied by a rear bench, offer modest comfort, the latter better suited for cargo than passengers. A three-dial instrument cluster featuring a tachometer, speedometer, and fuel gauge graces the driver's view. The three-spoke steering wheel, adorned with the Porsche crest, oversees a minimalist ensemble of pedals, a T-bar gear shift knob, and essential controls for lights and wipers. Stripped of distractions, the focus remains steadfast on the pure joy of driving this automotive masterpiece.
Performance expectations for the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica differ markedly from contemporary supercars, as its 1.6L Volkswagen flat-four resides in the rear, echoing the air-cooled heritage shared with vintage Beetles. A conservative estimate places the power output at around 60hp, channeled to the rear wheels through a manual transmission. While not a contender for speed records, the allure of this replica lies in the nostalgic driving experience it faithfully recreates.
Porsche’s first-ever production model, the 356 was a lightweight and nippy sports car that debuted in 1948. Coming in at just under 158 inches long and a smidge over 65 inches wide, it was a truly compact thing that could easily be threaded along narrow roads. It sported an air-cooled flat-four engine in the tail, and wasn’t that much of a departure from the Volkwagen Beetle. No surprise, since Ferdinand Porsche had a hand in the Beetle’s development too. Over 76,000 original 356s were made, but far fewer survive today. That means if you want an original car in reasonable condition, you’ve got to be prepared to pay top-dollar for it. Thankfully, the replica market has you covered, with gems such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster 1600 Super Replica. Built by Vintage Speedsters and assembled in 2008, this car is up for sale with a mere 9,300 miles on the odometer. It originally started it's life as a 1974 Volkswagen. So, why not buy it and make it your weekend toy? It’s a fine thing that will show you the beauty of driving a classic automobile, without the typical headaches that typically come with classic car ownership.
The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).
Owning a Porsche 911 is a dream for many, especially one of the classic air-cooled variants. Introduced in September 1964, few sports cars have had such an impact as the Porsche 911. Its iconic teardrop shape and rear-mounted engine continue even in 2025. Initially sporting a naturally aspirated engine, Porsche started slapping on a turbo at the factory in 1975. The 930 generation was the first to have forced induction, and these are fearsome cars that really test the mettle of a driver. So, if you’re up for a challenge, we’ve got a 16,025-mile 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo for sale with Porsche-certified authenticity, a host of new parts, and all documentation from a Porsche mechanic as reported by the current owner.

Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time.

Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name.
