The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car from the Forties and Fifties. It was Porsche’s first production model, and is a highly sought-after classic. Only 76,000 were produced, and it is estimated that around half may survive, in various states. Hence, it’s not uncommon for original Porsche 356s to be relatively rare, and expensive when they come on the market. Thankfully, if you want a Porsche 356 to grace your life, you can consider buying an excellent replica, such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica. The car is titled as a 1971 Volkswagen, and has been featured in various car shows over the years. Moreover, the current owner claims that it’s even won some awards and trophies!
This beautiful 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica looks virtually indistinguishable from the original from outside, unless you’re extremely knowledgeable about the fine specifications of the 356 model. Painted in a period-correct black, it rolls on a set of equally period-correct steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. The car has a convertible top, and the current owner discloses that one of the pop-in windows is missing. Otherwise, everything is present and correct, including the head and taillamp clusters in the correct shape and style, the chrome bumpers, hood straps, headlamp protectors, and of course, the relevant badging. The interior of this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is a two-plus-two affair in black and red. You’ve got two low-back seats upholstered in red leather, with a two-tone red-and-black dashboard sporting all the important gauges and controls. Behind the front seats is a single rear bench, also upholstered in red leather, but more suited for two kids, or one average-sized adult, sitting sideways. The current owner says that the car has a Bluetooth-capable radio, and the connections needed to install an air conditioner are present as well.
Tucked away in the tail of this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is an air-cooled flat four-cylinder engine, much like you’d find in a Beetle, which is what the original Porsche 356 came with anyways. Badging leads us to believe that this example packs the larger 1.6L engine, and the current owner reports that carburetors have been replaced, and the oil has been recently changed. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox, giving you a pleasing experience on your favorite road.

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).
