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).

This 356 replica is built on a 1973 Beetle chassis by Classic Motor Cars of Miami (as reported by the current owner). It has a black fiberglass body and brown upholstery with a diamond stitch design on the seats. The wooden shifter knob and rim of the steering match the upholstery. There are pockets stitched into the door cards, providing storage space for smaller items. The owner states that this replica has authentic Porsche gauges. The front seats have been fitted with black lap belts for safety. The hood/front trunk is held down by period-style brown leather straps. While this wasn’t fitted to the original 356s, it does look good on this car. While there is no mention of a stereo system, there do appear to be two speakers fitted into the upholstery of the front footwell. A full brown tonneau cover is also included to protect the interior from the elements. The twin exhausts have square chrome tips, which look quite modern.
The 356A was offered with several 1.3L, 1.5L, and 1.6L engine options and a 4-speed manual. This car is reported to have a 1.5L engine from the 1973 Beetle (which was rated for 50PS from the factory). It has a new single carburetor, a new alternator, and a new front wiring harness. There are also four new tires and shocks.

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!
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.
The 718 was introduced as a contuination of the popular Boxster and Cayman lines. These are mid-engined German roadsters with one goal: to take the everyday out of every day. This 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman Style Edition is a work of art to drive on the streets. A beautifully designed and engineered machine that wins the heart of every car enthusiast. Primarily thanks to the mid-engine concept that includes a 2.0-liter turbo boxer engine producing just the right amount of power with a low center of gravity and performance suspension that results in ludicrous amounts of fun. This particular Cayman we have here comes with the Premium Package, Sport Chrono Package, Extended Range Fuel Tank, and an exciting list of aftermarket upgrades. With a mere 2,545 miles on the odometer, this is your chance to own street art done the Porsche way.
When it comes to public opinion, the Porsche Panamera has always been a polarizing vehicle. Its fans consider it a well-rounded car that successfully filled a gap in a slightly niche market, while its detractors consider it unnecessary and unattractive. In many ways, it competes with the Aston Martin Rapide, with both being fast, luxurious, four-seater, four door coupe-sedans. The Aston Martin was not, however, as commercially successful as the Porsche, which can be attributed to the Porsche’s more competitive pricing and versatile engine options (ranging from a V6 diesel to a twin turbo V8). The original Panamera was first launched in 2009 and has since seen 2 more generations as of 2024, including a station wagon variant. This example is a first generation Panamera S from 2011, with only 64,500 miles on it.
Porsches are the best way to experience driving like no other. Every component is built to boost your drive experience, be it a perfectly crafted design or blistering performance that is engineered to perfection. Present today is one of Porsches finest and takes shape with this 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S. With a reported 18,000 miles on the clock, this German powerhouse is the ideal track weapon and B road stormer for infinite smiles per gallon.
A classic car should above all, be automotive art, it should be the vehicle that turns heads as you drive by and makes you look back as you park it. Looking back at automotive greatest classics, and the Shelby Cobra stands out like a sore thumb. Ever since its inception, the Cobra has been everyone's dream machine to cruise into the sunset and experience what the best of the classic car world has to offer. Owning a Shelby Cobra for many is a dream, but present today is the next best thing: a well-sorted replica build that takes shape with this lovely 1965 Shelby Cobra.
