This is hard to write, but looking to possibly sell my speedster.  I have been considering purchasing a coupe and as much as I would like to have both, that's not an option. 

It was built in 2010 by Thunder Ranch and is loaded with options and well sorted.  It has about 2800 miles on it and has been a lot of fun.  It has  2332cc Engine, 911 Style Fan Shroud, 44mm Weber Carburetors.  Will be offering it for a fair price.

Let me know of any interest.  Thanks!

Greg

I keep looking at this car. It's everything I want but I just have my mind set on a red/tan or maybe white/tan. I recently (2 months ago) had great success selling a car through Hemming's.  Hemming's was the only place I advertised it. I think it was $99.00 for 3 months of internet and 1 print issue. It sold within 2 days of posting at the asking price and I'm still getting calls about it.  As you probably know they have a "Replicas" category with many Speedsters. Good luck. Someone will love this car as much as you and I.

Anyone know why BaT would not want to list a replica speedster?  I just saw today an early 2000 Beck Spyder go for $40K, but within 5 minutes of sending them a request to list my car they rejected it.  Doesn’t make any sense.

The FACT is it was a 2004 RS SPYDER(BECK) with a GENE BERG 2165 and loaded with DISCS, etc. It is NOT a SPEEDSTER....just for clarification. It is a different car altogether. Others might know why they would reject your ad but it is NOT the same car. Best of luck in your sale and Happy Holidays.

Your car is a BEAUTY by the way

For whatever it’s worth, BaT just listed a ‘56 Speedster. Although it carries a certificate of authenticity from Porsche, the Speedster does not have the original engine. In addition, it is not wearing its original color or sporting its original interior color-all have been changed. 

But it does have records that date all the way back to.......1998. Hmmmmm. 

I found it funny to read all the comments, as a good majority of them revolve around the historic airplanes in the background of the photos, and less about the car itself. 

@Glowman, MD: 2010 TR Speedster, given the wonderful appearance of your Speedster, perhaps BaT was afraid it may deter interest in this “real” Speedster?  Complete speculation of course.

Indeed they are. How did you happen to come across it?

I am completely new to Speedster Replicas, and even newer to SpeedsterOwners.com. Notwithstanding, I'm old enough to not be taken in by something like this, yet I was. Back in September I chased a beautiful '56 Speedster that was being offered - purportedly - by Shane Moore - Director of Photography | Discovery Channel | Deadliest Catch |
shanemoore@discovery-deadliestcatch.com.

It was a beautiful car and I spent an absurd amount of time trying to set up an appointment to see the car but never able to do so. When the "owner" said the car was locked in a transport container ready to be shipped to me, I finally wised up and realized it was a scam. I forget the site where I originally came across it but I did report it. The posting was still there a long while after. 

Nice to have people like you in the Speedster group looking out for people like me. Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

 

Very unfortunate that there are quite a few a**holes out there trying to pull this crap.....but certainly pays to use common sense and SEE/TOUCH/SMELL a car or a real live PPI proxy before buying. Good to see copies of titles, etc and if its too good to be true....it AINT TRUE! Even bank checks should be CLEARED and FUNDS FULLY AVAILABLE before letting merchandise or "car" leave your possession as scammers are raising their level of sophistication. I have some very CREATIVE torture ideas for these guys when they're caught and it aint pretty. I had TWO PPIs before I bought my IM6 to make certain that all wave lengths were in sync but then again I hate to piss away huge dollars on plastic.
