This 1948 Porsche 356 No. 1 replica was one of two built in California. Used minimally since its creation in 2009, the car has only 2,500 miles and still presents as largely new from both cosmetic and mechanical standpoints. It is driven on short trips to maintain mechanical fitness, and or to show at custom events. Built around a custom tube frame *this is not an old Volkswagen beetle with a body on it.* This is a serious one off piece for the Porsche enthusiast, that realizes the need for modern day advancements in motor technology while maintaining a unique and classic look,- true to Porsche' inception. Bodied in fiberglass, it is a replica model almost never seen on the road, and even the lone original car in Stuttgart is made of many reproduced components. Porsche 356-001 was the companys first prototype, and as such differed greatly from later production models while holding true to some styling quesmost notably in its mid-engined layout and distinct styling. This one accurately recreates the original in both scale and detail as well as colors and trim. Note the early fluted OEM Porsche glass headlight lenses, excellent panel gaps and high quality paint finish. Inside, the car again closely mimics the original with red leather upholstery, a white Bakelite banjo steering wheel, replica Pre-A 356 gauges period correct pedals and emergency break, Hand made aluminum One of a kind accents to door stills and interior lining are a true work of art, and overall the interior presents a one of a kind stand out from other like model builds (aka intermeccanica etc.) All lights, gauges and switches work as designed, and the view over the split, unframed windshield is framed nicely by curvy front fenders.
