Porsche 356 Speedster Replica by CMC

This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was produced by Classic Motor Carriages of Miami, Florida, in 1986, and was recently acquired by the selling dealer. Power comes from an air-cooled flat-four with twin Dellorto carburetors paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and the car is finished in red with a black soft top. Equipment includes 15″ Cal/Master wheels, front disc brakes, LED fog lights, a roll hoop, and a Compu-Fire ignition system. Inside, the bucket seats are trimmed in black cloth and are joined by a Dino steering wheel, four-point racing harnesses, a Scat shifter, and a JVC head unit. This 356 Speedster replica is now offered by the selling dealer—a BaT Local Partner—with a certificate of origin, manufacturer’s literature, build photos and documents, and a Florida title listing the vehicle as a 1970 Volkswagen.

The fiberglass body is finished in red and features a black soft top. Details include a roll hoop, LED fog lights, fender-mounted mirrors, intermittent wipers, a single-grille decklid, and teardrop taillights.

The 15″ Cal/Master wheels are wrapped in a mixture of Dunlop and Fuzion tires. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums.

The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in black cloth, and four-point racing harnesses are fitted for each occupant. Details include a Scat shifter, a JVC head unit, a woodgrain dash, a fire extinguisher, and a height-adjustable rearview mirror.

The Dino steering wheel sits ahead of white-dial instrumentation consisting of a 130-km/h speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, an ammeter, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil temperature, air/fuel ratio, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 8k kilometers (~5k miles), approximately 50 of which have been added by the selling dealer.

The air-cooled flat-four is equipped with twin Dellorto carburetors and a Compu-Fire ignition system.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.

The chassis stamping shown above is consistent with a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle.
