This extremely solid, well detailed example was factory built by Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens, California, in 2000.
The car was built for a customer who was particularly specific with what he wanted the car to represent, and it was created to be as authentic as possible. No expense was spared.
The current owner, Milt brown (creator of the Apollo Marquee) bought this car in 2002 and has put just 2,000 miles on it since. The total mileage is shown as 15,921. Mr. Brown is the second owner.
The engine is a 1775 cc, single carburetor with velocity stack. With its Abarth style exhaust, this car sounds as a Porsche speedster would. The car is equipped with front disc brakes, and camber compensator on the rear.
From the 550 style steering wheel, original Porsche style VDO gauges, racing style seat belts and distinctive Porsche style carpet throughout, the drivers cockpit has a great feel to it. The front luggage compartment is properly carpeted and very clean, and there is a luggage rack on the rear of the car, which includes the correct leather straps. The badging, including the Reutter `Custom Coachwork` tag, is correct throughout.
The car cover, tonneau cover, and soft top are beautifully done in Hartz cloth; and the car cover comes with a bag. Some creature comforts have been added, such as twin trumpet air horns and an AM/FM stereo with CD and changer.
Cosmetic flaws are limited to minor rock chips on the frontal area associated with 15,000 miles of use.
This car is titled in California as a 1971 Volkswagen using the motor number. The work done by Vintage Speedsters was completed in 2000.
Recent sales for Vintage Speedsters at auctions have ranged from $24,500 to $34,500. This car is an exceptionally correct example and will be represents excellent value at our asking price.
