1955 Porsche 550 Spyder on 2040-cars
United States
|
Chuck Beck is known around the world for his high-quality Porsche reproductions. They are built to a standard of no other reproduction vehicles. This is not a kit car, but a hand built reproduction of the famous 1955 Porsche Spyder, made famous by James Dean. The quality of the materials, components, and assembly speaks for itself.
This particular car is a 2650 original mile Beck 550 Spyder. Silver-blue with red leather interior and matching red floor mats.Tubular frame chassis with a flat 4 engine with dual Weber carbs mated to a 4 speed transmission with 4 wheel disc. The power to weight ratio on these is amazing. If you have never driven one, they are a BLAST! Car comes with a cold weather package of a black soft top and matching side curtains. Original style banjo steering wheel, shift knob, leather straps for the engine cover and original style Porsche badges. Titled as a 1955 Porsche, this VERY low mileage masterpiece is ready for your driving pleasure. Car is in fantastic condition and always garaged, panels line up great and color looks great and is not blotchy as some silvers can be. I have driven the car and it is in need of not one thing. Considering a real one trades at over 1 MIL for the price you can’t find a better way to have fun. With a few updates you can have this car looking dead on as an original. Doing a wide five wheel update makes it look like a million bucks with not much effort. It has a few paint issues from normal use. You have some hair line scratches on the top of the front left fender, can polish out not below the clear. You have a 1/4 inch scratch on the driver’s door and a small dot chip behind the right rear wheel and that's all I can find. Shipping can be arranged world wide. Feel free to ask any questions ! Thanks for looking and good luck ! |

Heidi Klum and Maserati go Beyond the Swimsuit for Sports Illustrated
Sat, 22 Feb 2014When sports and cars come together, the world "super" often comes up - whether it's a high-performance super sports car, a racing series (like Japan's Super GT, Australia's V8 Supercars or Italy's Superstars series), the latest crop of Super Bowl ads from the world's automakers or a supermodel posing with a car in the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This year's edition already saw Lisalla Montenegro cozying up to the new Lexus RC F, but it's not the only pairing to be found between an import luxury performance machine and a swimsuit model. The new 50th anniversary edition of the popular bikini special features a seven-page pictorial titled "Beyond the Swimsuit" shot by Francesco Carrozzini.
The spread features the inimitable Heidi Klum posing beside and inside various Maserati models - including the new Ghibli S Q4, the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car and the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna concept. Of course it's not the first time we're seeing a leggy blonde stepping out of Modena's finest - a role often taken up by one Jodie Kidd, to say nothing of the rich and beautiful in exotic locales the world over - but it's a pairing of which we'll never grow tired.
Maserati to show GranCabrio MC in Paris
Mon, 24 Sep 2012Maserati sure seems to be milking the GranTurismo franchise for all its worth these days. In addition to plenty of limited editions and sport models for both the coupe and convertible, Maserati recently launched the MC version of the hardtop. Now, ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the Modenese automaker has dropped details on its latest iteration of the GT platform, the GranCabrio MC.
Visually, the droptop's most noticeable change is its new face, which has been lifted directly off the MC Stradale coupe. This means the car is a full 48 millimeters longer than the standard and Sport versions of the GranCabrio, but we like the decidedly more aggressive look to that big ol' schnoz. The large rear spoiler has also been reworked for the MC, providing even more downforce to keep that large body firmly glued to the road.
Maserati has not released powertrain details, but we assume that the GranCabrio MC uses the same 4.7-liter Ferrari-sourced V8 as the MC coupe, good for 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Maserati Ghibli pricing announced for UK
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Maserati's newest car, Ghibli, is a stunningly well-proportioned luxury sedan mixing the styling of the larger Quattroporte sedan and the GranTurismo coupe. We found it plenty good to in our First Drive review, and now we know how much it will cost (in the UK, at least).
Ghibli pricing announced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is for customers in the UK, but based on current exchange rates and prices of other Maseratis sold here in the US, we can estimate its MSRP for our market. The base Ghibli, with a twin-turbocharged V6 making 325 horsepower, will cost 52,275 pounds for the Bits, making $75,000 a good guess for American buyers. If that number holds true, however, the Ghibli would be in a price category above its main competition from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Take a step up to the Ghibli S, sporting a naturally aspirated V8 producing 404 hp, and you'll have to fork out 63,415 pounds or an estimated $91,000 here.
Just for kicks, the Europe-only Ghibli Diesel, which makes 270 hp and 420 pound-feet of torque with its diesel V6, is the least-expensive Maserati 48,830 pounds. Running an estimated $70k for us, we'd really like to have that one, too. After all, the sparkplug-less engine is the same one found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
