1955 Porsche 550 Spyder on 2040-cars
United States
|
Chuck Beck is known around the world for his high-quality Porsche reproductions. They are built to a standard of no other reproduction vehicles. This is not a kit car, but a hand built reproduction of the famous 1955 Porsche Spyder, made famous by James Dean. The quality of the materials, components, and assembly speaks for itself.
This particular car is a 2650 original mile Beck 550 Spyder. Silver-blue with red leather interior and matching red floor mats.Tubular frame chassis with a flat 4 engine with dual Weber carbs mated to a 4 speed transmission with 4 wheel disc. The power to weight ratio on these is amazing. If you have never driven one, they are a BLAST! Car comes with a cold weather package of a black soft top and matching side curtains. Original style banjo steering wheel, shift knob, leather straps for the engine cover and original style Porsche badges. Titled as a 1955 Porsche, this VERY low mileage masterpiece is ready for your driving pleasure. Car is in fantastic condition and always garaged, panels line up great and color looks great and is not blotchy as some silvers can be. I have driven the car and it is in need of not one thing. Considering a real one trades at over 1 MIL for the price you can’t find a better way to have fun. With a few updates you can have this car looking dead on as an original. Doing a wide five wheel update makes it look like a million bucks with not much effort. It has a few paint issues from normal use. You have some hair line scratches on the top of the front left fender, can polish out not below the clear. You have a 1/4 inch scratch on the driver’s door and a small dot chip behind the right rear wheel and that's all I can find. Shipping can be arranged world wide. Feel free to ask any questions ! Thanks for looking and good luck ! |

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
Maserati ramping up production of Ghibli, Quattroporte
Thu, 12 Jun 2014While Porsche may be relatively new to the four-door game, Maserati has been building the Quattroporte with few interruptions since 1963. But like its rival from Stuttgart, the Trident marque is rapidly shifting from a sports car company primarily to a manufacturer of high-end family transportation. Not only does it have the new Quattroporte on the market, but now it's got the Ghibli sedan as well and the Levante crossover on its way.
It's a gambit that's reaping huge benefits not only for Maserati itself but also for its newly merged parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is finding the mass market less lucrative than it once was and is positioning both Maserati and Alfa Romeo against other luxury marques like BMW, Audi and Porsche. As a result, Maserati is considerably expanding its production.
Last month, Maserati sold over 3,000 cars, putting it on track to double its sales from 2013. But it's not about to stop there. With growing demand for its authentically Italian luxury sedans, Maserati is shifting more workers to its assembly plant in the Turinese suburn of Grugliasco (where the QP and Ghibli are made) and shortening vacation time to ramp production up from 750 cars per week to 900.
Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears
Mon, 20 May 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.
