There are only three that I am aware of, leaving SAS/SAW out, of  course.

  1. Beck: The first production one of their Coupes (mine) will be at Carlisle.  It is mid-engine and has a modern suspension.  Obviously I think it will be the best one, but there is already quite a backlog and they are not inexpensive.
  2. Vintage Motorcars: Greg's cars are rear-engine and pan-based, but built to a good standard.  I don't know how many are out there, but I believe his wait is less than for a Beck.
  3. JPS: I'll stay away from the quality and support discussions here.  Some folks seem to like theirs.

I've only seen three JPS coupes;  The first (his #1 and around 2010?) was a disaster by just about any yardstick.  By the time he got to Tom Marantz's coupe, somewhere around 2016 or so, it had far less things wrong with it (powered by Suby and a flipped Suby 5 speed transaxle) but still needed quite a bit of sorting.  there must be several or so on the West Coast, too.  I believe he's doing an A version.

I also know of three SAS coupes, all A versions, the first for Charles Gardener, don't know who had the second (Charles might) and then @Jim Kelly's.  Haven't heard of any since Jim's.

And then Greg at Vintage is going like gang busters on his Pre-A models while Special Edition is ramping up production (it's a long ramp) for their 356 B coupes.

Lots to choose from out there!

All correct, except Beck is building C coupes. Nobody is building B coupes.
