That's one of the nicest Becks I have ever seen. Beautiful color, Subie, AC, heat, PW

My bid is in 

ABSOLUTELY and I wish you luck! If I didn't already have my IM6, I would have contacted the seller already to try to make a deal and pull the auction. You just might be able to pull off a quick desirable deal. That is a fine car....give him a call and CLOSE the deal! It would(likely?) not be for sale if he wasn't looking to move it NOW!

Yes it is a Beck.  I built it for a lady in Dallas several years ago and they recently moved to their full-time home in Branson and did not have garage space.  

The car was color matched to her BMW and the interior was color matched to her boyfriend's Veron (custom made Spinneybeck leather), with orange leather inserts/stitch/piping.  All the knobs in the car were hand made in mahogany to match the shifter and the steering wheel was/is a restored original (the wheel alone was $4500 from memory)  Everything on the car was made to her spec... custom pedal covers, custom white faced gauges with hand painted numbers (in body color), etc, etc...  The bumper guards were a 3D scan of her Tiffany and Co. teardrop earrings, enlarged and CNC'd out of solid billet and then high polished.  It was really a fun build... I like oddball custom things like that...  Her recollection of her cost into the build is a bit low, or maybe that's what she told her boyfriend.  I think she had $10K more into it than she remembers, especially with some of the one-off items added during the build.  No idea what it sold for though

Yes, we do convertible D's on occasion.  They are a pain in my ass and take a lot more time than a traditional speedster, and I use all original components for top and windshield, so they are costly in comparison.  

Very nice, Carey. I'm not a fan of the bumperettes either, but they might be a little easier to take if they were curved to the body shape (like nerf bars). That said, bumpers would cure the problem. Not changing the bumper mounts was a smart move.

It would take very little to butch this car up. I really like it.

And I agree with Stan. New bumpers and get rid of the white faced gauges (I'm not a fan of them in old VW's or Porsches- it's only my opinion and if you don't agree with me that's your perogative) and that's a pretty cool car. Offhand I don't think there's much else I'd do to it (oh, why did I look again? the whitewalls! I'm not a fan of whitewalls on old Porsches- too American looking. No more looking Al...).

So I am the person that bought the car and to answer the question of Banzai Pipeline, yes I contacted her immediately and negotiated a $2K deposit to hold so I could fly down and look at it.  She pulled it and 3 days later I flew into Dallas for the day and bought it.  Had it enclosed trailered to Wisconsin and it was delivered yesterday.  

As for price, let's just say it was way below what a duplicate would have cost to have Carey build.  And yes I will be having Carey putting different bumpers on very soon.

I have always loved the 356 and wanted a daily driver without the huge $$$ for a restored one.  Plus it goes well with my 2015 Jag F-Type S V8IMG_1680
