SOT/ i really like the 356 replicas, I would totally drive this one Options

I dont even care if its a replica, it is just sexy. 25000 seems like a good deal to me, but I live in reality, and I did not hit the lotto yet. But seriously, if I did get it, I am not sure if I would drive this one or the 914 more often (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I've owned a number of speedsters, back when they were cheap. I've serviced and driven any number of replicas, including a repop Convertible D that was factory built in Canada. They're just not the same thing. For a Poseur, they're fine, but I can show you how to spot a fake from across the parking lot. Same for Spyder kit cars. Having worked on and driven the real deal, the kits, while pretty nice, just don't get it. Fiberglas kits just don't feel like steel or aluminum, and kits are, well, kits.

As for the '72 Ghia being better than a '56 Speedster, good luck with that one. Although the Speedster had swing axles, it had about one and a half times the HP, shorter gearing, about 10 times the brakes (Porsches had more brakes than the Vettes of the same years), a lower CG, and a substantial weight advantage. Cooler, too. And better seats.
