Porsche Literature Meet
Location: Hilton LAX
Event: March 4, 2017
This weekend was heaven for Porsche enthusiasts. This past week all the major restoration/ repair shops had Open Houses that you could attend. Then on Saturday was the big Porsche Literature Show which is swap meet for anything Porsche.
Location: Â Riedering, Germany
Odometer: 2,000 Miles
VW Engine 130HP
Price: $160,000 US Dollars
The Car is without the Title and VIN number , for export, you get a bill of sale. Â Â The Porsche 550 is one of the most beautiful sports cars in the world. Â Unfortunately, the real cars are pushing $3.5 million plus and it also doesn’t help that there are less than 90 produced. Â I have always loved these cars. Â Many companies have made replicas over the years. Â Beck Spyder is a very popular replica using a fiberglass body. Â Â In the last 5 years there have been companies that will make the cars out of aluminum and even install a 4 cam engine as an option.
This replica in Germany is made out of aluminum and uses a 130hp VW engine.  This maybe the  best way to get to feel what it was like in a real Porsche 550 Spyder.
