Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

4 speed, 4 wheel drum brakes, bumper overriders front and rear, gold Speedster scripts on front fenders, gold Porsche scripts on engine cover, beehive taillights. Solid interior and paint, chassis is dirty and oil drips from the valve covers. Current color combination is a change from the original Aquamarine over black leatherette. Engine is a replacement stamped with the correct numbers.

Market commentary

A car that looks great on the surface. While its not uncommon to see Speedsters that are well used or without their original engine, this cars missing history, color change and restamped engine leave too many unanswered questions. It was last sold at Christies Pebble Beach auction in 2002 for $82,250. That was appropriate: this is too much money.
