More fun than the Boxster?

[yellowboxster01]

I didn't think it was possible until now.




Out of all the cars I've ever driven, this is the most fun. It's just so pure, no radio, no a/c, no heat, no nothing but, the essentials. It's a Beck with a 1914cc, Porsche valve covers and air cleaners. Built in 1990 #177. All of the interior has been covered in aluminum. Only has about 5k miles on it.




Beautiful car and everyone I encounter has the same question, "what is that?" I just tell them it's a 55' Porsche 550 Spyder, I figure they don't know what it is anyway to they'd never be able to tell it was a replica. The other common question is "is that like James Dean's car"?

That's gorgeous. I could never build one though. I'd have to put an LS1 (or at least a Porsche six cylinder) in it.

Finally got a chance to sit in a Beck last summer. Getting in & out is a bit a of challenge for taller folks. Would still like to drive one.

There is one here in SE NC with a Boxster engine. Sadly the female owner or rep did not want to talk to a PCA member about it.

I'm 6'4", there's a method to get in and out. Once in, surprisingly it has ample room for my long legs. The "tunnel" is very roomy.

I've got about 130hp, I really don't know why you'd want more. It accelerates like a cheetah and going over 80mph is sketch being it weighs only 1300lbs. I've looked at a Polo 4 but, I don't think this car warrants it.

i think i'd swap a boxster for it! beautiful!!! i think a large engine would spoil it myself, take it to a track and try to DRIVE your times down, it will be fast enough to give you a buzz then when you find the cars limit and your limit you'll have the satisfaction of mastering it. thanx for sharing
