About this car
Now offered is this 1955 Porsche Speedster, recently brought out of long-term storage and presented in an aged burgundy exterior over a black interior. The car retains some of the defining details that made the Speedster distinct, including its low-profile windshield, and lightweight sports-car character. Offered by Beverly Hills Car Club in Los Angeles, CA. This 1955 1955 Porsche Speedster is listed at $179,950.
What the photos show
- The red paint is crazed, peeling and worn through to primer and bare metal across the nose, doors and rear deck in every photo — budget for a full bare-metal respray, not a touch-up from these photos.
- Rust is visible in the front wheel arch, along the sills and around the rear wheel openings, and the cabin photo shows a holed, corroded floor pan — budget for serious metalwork, floors included, from these photos.
- The black convertible top is torn and collapsed, its rear window cloudy and stained, with the frame exposed — budget for a complete new top and frame work from these photos.
- The black Speedster bucket seats themselves look surprisingly intact, but the carpets are rotted away and the dash paint is worn — budget for a full interior refit around the seats, not just a clean from these photos.
- The engine bay and front trunk show heavy surface corrosion on the generator, filter canister and trunk floor — budget for a full mechanical and cosmetic recommissioning, not a service from these photos.
- Chrome side spears, bumpers and moon hubcaps are all present and straight-looking, which saves hunting trim — but rechroming money belongs in the budget from these photos.
Money: this is full-restoration money — paint, rust and floors, top, interior and recommissioning — with the complete chrome and hubcaps the only clear saving the photos show.
