Im selling my 1957 Porsche Speedster California Replica convertible.  Street Beast Kit Built in 2004.   

Street beasts used to be CMC.  1973 VW Chassis with independent rear suspension and a 1600CC engine with dual Solex Carbs.  Car also has 4 wheel disc brakes. 
Fiberglass body and no rust. Bought the car originally in Kansas. 2666 miles on the kit speedometer. White convertible top and the side windows are included.

New Stuff:
New Tires and Smoothie style rims with less than 200 miles on them. 
New plugs, wires, coil, condenser and points. Replaced the fuel pump and exhaust system.
The shocks are in great shape and the fluids have been replaced all around. I also have a carb rebuild kit but didn't need to use it after replacing numerous ignition parts.
Blemishes:
Small scuff on the front tip that could probably be buffed out by a trained person (see pictures)
Center convertible top clamp is a little bent but still works. 
A few scratches here or there but overall very good condition for the body being almost 10 years old.
Speedometer is off by about 20mph. I have seen this before on some replicas. 


The driver seat was moved back farther than the other seat.  It is a nice feature for taller guys and it is still adjustable.
Car loves to rev up and go.  Can cruise at highway speeds no problem.  
Titled as a 2004 VW Beetle but you can have your DMV title it as a 1973 Beetle for collector plates.
Car has CD player and door speakers.

** added side mirrors recently and removed the top for some of the pictures.  you can just remove some snaps and 2 bolts and the top comes right off.

Feel free to email me at timgeisler@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
This car gets more attention than $100k cars at car shows!
Im selling because im saving money for a wedding.  We both love to drive the car!
Fun little car and always gets a few waves while you drive. Perfect for summer, good luck bidding!

Volkswagen reportedly to name Matthias Muller CEO

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Porsche chief executive officer Matthias Muller is expected to be named CEO of Volkswagen AG, the Wall Street Journal and other sources reported Thursday morning. Muller, 62, has led Porsche since Oct. 1, 2010, and jumpstarted the sports-car brand's expansion around the world. He replaces Martin Winkerkorn, who stepped down Wednesday amid the company's worsening diesel scandal. At least three more executives are also expected to be fired, including Volkswagen's US chief and the heads of Audi and Porsche research and development. Both brands are divisions of VW. A US spokesman wouldn't confirm the reports. An official announcement is expected at VW's board meeting on Friday. Muller's ascension caps a stunning week of turmoil for Volkswagen, which manipulated software to make its diesel-powered vehicles appear cleaner during testing that they are in real-world driving. The charges were revealed last week by the EPA, which cited the work of researchers at West Virginia University. About 482,000 vehicles are affected in the United States, which will be subject to recall, and VW estimates about 11 million of its vehicles around the world have the rigged software. The well-regarded Muller was viewed as a front-runner for the job even before Winterkorn stepped down. Before helming Porsche, he oversaw all vehicle projects globally for VW from 2007-2010. Previously, he was in charge of the Audi and Lamborghini product lines, and earlier in his career was responsible for the Audi A3 program in the 1990s. He joined Audi in 1977. He's trained as a toolmaker and studied information technology in Munich. His last name is sometimes spelled Mueller in English. Muller faces immediate challenges as he takes over VW's sprawling 78-year-old industrial empire, including recalls and regulatory actions around the world. In the US alone, the company faces a fine of up to $18 billion. VW, an industrial symbol of Germany, is also far larger than any unit Muller has run in his career. While Porsche sold 189,849 vehicles in 2014 globally, it's one of many VW brands. Collectively they sold 5.04 million vehicles through the first six months of this year, making Volkswagen the world's largest automaker. Related Video:

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
