You are looking at a custom built recreation of the 1948 Porsche 356-1 known as "No1".  Only one original 1948 356-01 was built and now resides at the "Porsche Museum" in Stuttgart, Germany.  The value of this first Porsche is priceless.  Regarding our listed vehicle here our original investment and creation of our 356-1 replicar was by the means of "Vintage Replicar" which has been creating original replicar's of the "No1" for over six years.  We are not associated with any other company and or builder.  We are the only company that builds/resto the "Type356-1" in the world.  This listing is for our existing demo car and is privately owned and an incentive for those who don't want to wait to have a car built.  All photo's in this listing are of the car that is for sale here now on Ebay.  Be one of the few that will ever own a "Type356-1" recreation.  We are a small company and build/resto less than 11 cars per year. Now is your opportunity.........

This custom built 1948 356-1(resto/replica) is finished in Porsche silver, red leather and German oatmeal carpet.  This 356-1 sports a brand new dual carb 1915cc horizontally opposed air cooled boxer engine. Only weighing aprox 1350 lbs it moves out just fine.  We chose a tall fourth gear 4 speed transmission for enjoyable freeway driving.  The transmission is maneuvered by a custom built steel shifter for consistent throws.  Steering is from original parts that give it an authentic 356 feel.  This vehicle registers in virtually all countries and all US States due to the original Vin # pan chassis used during this resto/build.  This car was built with serious attention to detail and quality.  Paint and body quality is valued around $9,800.  We feel our build/resto is one of the highest builds possible.  We feel between the build quality and the uniqueness gives it great value and collectibility. Nearly all parts of this fine machine had to be custom made or designed by us.  Virtually all parts are NOT interchangeable with the "Speedster".  Please do not confuse this beautiful recreation as a "Speedster" since Speedster's were built between 1954-1958 and the 356-1 originated in 1948 (Grandfather).  More info can be found by visiting 356-1 dot com Expect many heads to turn because the attention this beautiful car gets is amazing.....Why?  Because it is so beautiful in person and no one has ever seen this car before.  Many people say when viewing that the lines are so clean..... Feel free to act upon this unique opportunity to own a rare vehicle by bidding today.....
