Reproduction from Thunder Ranch which is the same as the Beck reproduction.
Legally registered in CA with a SB100.
Car was first purchased in 2006 by the original owner who assembled the car and got it in working order. I purchased the car in February of 2010 and did the necessary "sorting" that is required with all reproduction cars. I ironed out all the quirks which including pulling the motor, replacing the clutch and pressure plate, repainting the car to get it perfect, changed the interior to fit my preferences and added all the "jewelry", correct reproduction emblems, lights, stripes, seats, pinstiping etc. Color combo was modeled after an original 550 that Jerry Seinfeld owns including the baby blue darts and seats. Carpet is light weight perlon, same that is used in vintage lightweight Porsche's (1973 Carrera RS etc). This Spyder has the best of everything one could want on a 550.
Here are some specs:
4 wheel disc brakes
2332 cc VW Type I engine
Dual 44IDF Weber
Bergmann 911 Type Fan Shroud
----External Oil cooler and filter with fan - currently removed
CB High roof case
SCAT Lifters
CB Straight cut gears
Chromoly Lightened Flywheel
Chromoly head Studs and Pushrods
Mahle Piston Kit
CB Wedge port heads
SCAT Solid shaft Rockers
Fully Balanced/Daily Driver
CNC Dual Cylinder Brake Pedal Assembly, adj. front to rear bias
CNC Hydraulic Clutch Pedal
CNC Aluminum Gas Pedal
Park Brake
Banjo Steering wheel
Kennedy Clutch
It has almost 2000 miles on it including a trip over 300 miles in a day. Car really runs well and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.
$27,500
The car has a cracked windshield right now from a rock on the freeway which will be fixed prior to sale.
I'm sure i'm forgetting something so feel free to ask questions.

Gawd, I want this so bad! Shame I am A-overseas right now and B-don't have a garage to put it in or I would totally buy this... GLWS man.
Oh yeah, could you post some engine and better interior pics please? This thing is a beauty and some lucky buyer is going to love it.

Any chances you could take a few detailed pics of the dash, engine, and maybe a pic of the front trunk? Also, I know this car isn't built for speed, but what would you say is its top speed? I am just wondering about cruising speed on a freeway.
