Porsche Other (1967)
for sale

Price: US $12,900.00

Description:

Available is my Porsche 550 replica. I have spent a considerable amount of time and money over the last few years building/sorting this replica. As with many Porsche kits, it's built off a VW pan/chassis VIN # 117771754
I initially started this kit due to my want for a Porsche 550. I drove many kits to include Beck, and Thunder Ranch before purchasing. These are excellent kits that perform very well; unfortunately the main down fall they all share is lack of comfort. I found most kits to be very difficult to drive if your near 6ft or taller such as myself, and they offered zero storage. The kit I found suited my needs for long distance travel comfort, and is useable for tall drivers. This kit was the Perry D, a complete kit utilizing a type 2 VW chassis. Early in the build process I changed many things on the kit at extensive cost to achieve a higher quality/more refined car I can go into detail with an interested buyer.
Please be mindful that I need to sell this car soon, so only contact me if you're a serious buyer.
Here is a quick categorized overview of the car in an effort to keep a short ad.

In summary this is a kit that can be driven, used in comfort, and with a little finishing work could be a show winning car. I would say the car is 90% complete, and will not disappoint. If you've ever built a kit car, then you'll know your far better off buying one in this condition both financially & time wise rather than starting from scratch. Easy to finish, or enjoy as is for the rest of the summer. Starts easy, and runs all day.
Easy to register/title under the original VIN # of a 67 VW Beetle. However, if needed I can get a title expedited through DMV but you will cover the cost.
Feel free to call me at 503-369-0459. Do NOT contact me if you're not a serious buyer. I must sell ASAP and do not have time to waste with individuals who cannot make a decision. I priced below what I have invested, and what I believe to be a fair price. That being said I will consider reasonable offers.
A none refundable deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours purchase through paypal.The shipping arrangements are your responsibility, but I will work with any shipping company to assist in loading of the car.
