I have my own idea of what makes sense for a 904 frame, and respective suspension bits.


I do too....I like 904's!!!!

I spoke with Chuck Beck a few years ago and I almost bought his 904 test mule.

But now, no time, $$ nor space. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

These fiberglass parts appear to be made at different times, different color, are they able to match up without fabricating? Do they all fit together? David.

I don't know the history of the parts. They came to us with a bunch of other parts when we bought out a shop. The yellow rear end is a very different weight of fiberglass than the rest (heavy). It's not a weekend, snap together kit but it wasn't priced that way either when I sold it a couple years ago. I wasn't able to convince my wife that it would make good yard art. It should make a fun project for someone, especially if more 904 parts have been collected.

I spoke with Chuck Beck last week, his company is still building the 550 Spyder in their shop in Indiana, their Turn Key 550 Spyder is being sold at 40 K. Chuck mentioned the VW parts are getting more expensive. He said they can build a 904 Roller for about 60 K. That would be a Top of the line Replica with proper fit and finish and a quality functioning chassis. The project/parts here have potential, but will require a bit of fabrication. With time, $Dollars and the proper skills I believe this project could be on the road as a Driver. Good luck with the sale! David laRuse.

I know you said it is thought to be an older Gunnar Racing body and had no paperwork, so this is most likely a stupid question, but does that mean they are replica and not made by Porsche? Or any idea on how to tell if it's replica or not. Thanks for your time.

Kelsie, The Guy you might want to talk to is Chuck Beck, He is very approachable and very knowledgable. Google Chuck Beck, Beck 550 Spyder and you should find his Phone #. He can answer all your questions and you can trust his answers. David la Ruse.

Yes, it's a replica. Porsche made a limited amount of real 904's and they now sell for $1million +.
