1957 Porsche Speedster Cabriolet Replica by JPS Motorsports Turbo VW Motor 300HP
I am pleased to present this 1957 Porsche 356 Custom Speedster Custom Replica by JPS Motorsports. The car is barely broken in with only 900 +/- miles driven since new. The car is in excellent condition and has never been tracked or autocrossed. It has been driven responsibly to and from a few east coast car shows and the “occasional” owner joy ride. California registered with VIN # 1132560357.
The car remains on the JPS transfer title. The new buyer will be the first official registered owner of the car after JPS.
The car is heavily optioned with a current replacement cost of approx. $60,000. It is likely the most optioned JPS Speedster replica in existence and available for immediate purchase. In addition, there has been a historical lead time of approx. 6 month to have JPS produce one for you. They are built to order so if you want to cruise the boulevard in one of these cool rides this summer, this one is available right now.
With the prices of authentic vintage Porsche Speedsters going towards the stratosphere, these quality built replicas are making more sense for the every day car enthusiast.

I have not personally inspected or photographed this Speedster replica. I am relying on the pictures and description provided to me by the seller. According to the owner, the car is in excellent condition. With less than 1000 miles and based on the pictures and videos, this car appears to be a great buying opportunity. If you’re looking for a great car to cruise and enjoy car shows, this is a great candidate.
Owner notes that there are two paint chips on the sides of the engine compartment hatch which are clear in the photos.
Owner didn’t build the car – it was purchased directly as turnkey from JPS. Seller is relying upon representations made by JPS in describing the car.
The Speedster had a carburetor tune up prior to filming the attached video last summer. The Speedster sat over the winter and is not running as smoothly as shown in the video. It is assumed to only require a carb tune-up since nothing else changed. The Speedster is being discounted accordingly for quick sale.
Buyer should inspect car on Long Island to confirm condition is satisfactory to buyer, as that is a material condition of sale. Speedster is available for inspection Monday to Thursday from 9-5 or Friday from 9-3 by appointment only. No weekend appointments are available. Buyer is solely responsible for registration and assumes all responsibility for confirming Speedster meets all requirements of the state buyer intends to register in. Owner is retired and traveling and cannot assist registration process in any way.
