Created as an homage to one of Porsche’s most legendary historic race cars, this 550 Spyder Replica is reported to have been built approximately three years ago. It is based on a custom tubular chassis and is finished in silver over a red vinyl interior. Power comes from a carburated air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four engine that is paired with an upgraded 4-speed manual transmission. Acquired from a retired race car driver in 2022, this 550 Spyder Replica is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
This replica is finished in silver and features an iconic 550 Spyder silhouette with a driver’s side helmet fairing. Exterior details include a driver’s side bullet-style side-view mirror, “Porsche” badging on the front and rear bonnets, “Spyder” badging on the front fenders, a dual-grille engine cover, and two individual exhaust outlets. It rides on polished and slotted 15” wheels with colored Porsche center crests and BFGoodrich tires from 2021. The seller notes a minor blemish on the rear bumper. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The bucket seats and driver's headrest are upholstered in red vinyl while the rest of the interior is covered with black carpeting. Details include a body-colored dashboard, a Nardi-style 3-spoke wooden steering wheel, a 3-gauge instrument cluster, wire door pulls, and lap belts. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be working properly.
This 550 Spyder replica is based on a custom tubular chassis/frame and is equipped with a single carburated air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an upgraded 4-speed manual transmission with custom ratios. It also features drum brakes and rear gas-filled shocks. The seller notes that the last service was in March 2023 at VW Paradise in San Marcos, CA, which included an oil change and inspection.
