Finished in a soft shade of yellow over tan vinyl upholstery, this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster replica is said to have been completed in the early 2000s and cared for by a single owner until 2019. It features a widebody configuration along with bullet-style mirrors, polished 15” steel wheels with Porsche-crested hubcaps, a Nardi steering wheel, and a 1,835cc flat-four with dual Weber carburetors. This Speedster replica is now being offered for auction out of California.
Presenting a widebody design, this Speedster replica comes finished in a shade of yellow complemented bv chrome trim. Details include bullet-style mirrors, teardrop taillights, gold-finished Porsche Speedster lettering, and a Leitz-style luggage rack that mounts a suitcase and vintage skis secured by leather straps. It rides on polished 15” steel wheels with Porsche-crested hubcaps and BFGoodrich Touring tires from May 2018. The seller notes the front end was repaired after damage occurred in June 2006 and the front bumper and hood were refinished. Some paint chips are also noted on the hood, front bumper, and door jambs.
The cabin features tan low-back bucket seats with matching door panels and carpets complemented by a body-color dashboard. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, a Kenwood CD stereo & speakers, and a Kicker 8” powered subwoofer placed behind the seats. All gauges and accessories are reported to be working properly.
Power is derived from a 1,835cc flat-four engine with dual Weber carburetors and an EMPI electronic fuel pump. The rear wheels are driven through a 4-speed manual transmission while stopping power is delivered through 4-wheel drum brakes. The seller notes damage to the Monza exhaust tips. A recent service is said to have been carried out, and a host of service documentation will accompany the sale.
This sale will include a clean title and service documentation.
The seller would like you to know: “I have owned the Speedster for the past 3 years and enjoyed every moment of it with my kids and the miles of smiles it has brought to our family. The previous owner was an elderly gentleman who owned it for over a decade and kept every single record/receipt in addition to writing stories of his journeys along the way. I have always properly maintained it and was always stored in my garage. To the next owner, this Speedster is turn-key and won't have to do anything to take it on its next adventure. Please feel free to reach out for a Pre-Purchase inspection or if you have any questions. Thank you”

@jns7853 The previous owner declared this Speedster as a "Beck" the past decade (Receipts, Car Shows, etc.). Furthermore, I believe it is a CMC Widebody Speedster from experience but that's just my opinion.
This looks like a very pretty little gem, but do you have any documentation that this is really a Beck Speedster? I'm not aware that Beck (i.e. Special Editions, Inc.) made any widebody speedsters. Is there a nameplate or anything that identifies the builder?
