This Beck 356 Speedster replica was assembled in 2017 by Special Edition, Inc. of Bremen, Indiana and is titled as a 1956 Beck 356 Speedster with only 5,020 miles at time of listing. It is finished in Ivory over gray leather and powered by a fuel-injected 2.5-liter Subaru EJ-series flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes the desirable Wide-5 suspension package, four-wheel disc brakes, a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, Ivory knob set, VDO instrumentation, mesh headlight covers, Marshall-style fog lights, polished hubcaps, and a gray tonneau cover with matching gray soft top.
The fiberglass body is mounted to Beck's proprietary 3-inch DOM tubular steel chassis. Finished in Ivory, exterior equipment includes gold Porsche badging on the nose and rear, mesh headlight covers, Marshall-style fog lights on the front bumper, and polished hubcaps. Beck identification appears only on the factory VIN plates; the car carries full Porsche badging externally as delivered from Special Edition, Inc.
The cockpit is trimmed in gray leather with a matching gray dash pad and cream accents tying to the Ivory exterior. Appointments include a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, the Ivory knob set, and a complete VDO gauge package. The 5,020-mile odometer reading is documented by consignment dealer inspection.
The 2.5-liter Subaru EJ-series flat-four is water-cooled and fuel-injected, producing approximately 180 horsepower. A front-mounted radiator with electric cooling fans provides thermal management. Custom stainless-steel headers and exhaust system are installed. The four-speed manual transaxle sends power to the rear wheels. Suspension is the factory Wide-5 package with four-wheel disc brakes.
