Description:

Early Beck Spyder serial number 169.  This is the 69th Spyder built by Beck Development as the serial numbers started with 101.  This Spyder was sold by Beck Development to the original owner in January 1989 as a base package with accessory kit (no engine or transmission).  The Spyder was never fully completed or registered by the original owner and logged only 15km under his ownership.  The Spyder was then sold to the second owner in 2009 who completed the Spyder and registered it with Pennsylvania DOT in August 2010.  We are selling this Beck for the widow of our close friend (second owner) who passed away last July.  It has a Pennsylvania special construction state issued VIN: SW129737PA.  It has been serviced and ready to drive and enjoy.   There are only 546 kilometers (340 miles) on this Spyder!  We do not know the specifics of the Volkswagen engine size or history – but it has dual downdraft Weber carburetors that appear new and it is quite quick and a blast to drive.  Please note that this is a replica of a 1955 Porsche 550 Sypder built by Beck Development of Upland California in 1989.  Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.   VIN: SW129737PA Beck serial # 169 Overview: Original Silver paint with Black interior Original mileage 546 kilometers (340 miles) Speedometer is in kilometers Porsche style green face gauges Original Nardi wood steering wheel Just fully serviced by a professional specialist shop Pennsylvania state safety inspection valid through March 2016 Statement of origin from Beck Development, Upland CA dated January 26, 1989 Volkswagen engine – history or cc size unknown – but very fast Dual Weber downdraft carburetors Four speed manual Volkswagen transmission Original tonneau cover (never had a top or side curtains) Undercarriage is excellent (as new) Interior is very nice with removable head rest Five chrome Porsche 356 style wheels (205mm bolt pattern) Spare tire mounts on top of transmission Tubular frame with fiberglass body Two original Beck Development Upland California badges included Fuel gauge is not functioning No rust or body damage ever Ready to drive and enjoy Valid Pennsylvania title, titled as Special Construction Sold as-is where-is   Please email with any questions before bidding.  Hopefully the above description in conjunction with the photographs presents a clear overview of the cars condition.  Serious bidders are invited and encouraged to view the Beck Spyder located at our shop in Reading, Pennsylvania 19601, USA.  Sold as is where is.  If interested, call Fred + 1 610 796 1446 eastern time zone.  Ebay members with less than 5 positive feedback must communicate with us before bidding.  Very reasonable reserve.   Payment terms: $500 non-refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours of auction end.   Balance in cash upon pick-up or bank wire transfer.  Full payment must be received within 7 calendar days of end of auction.   Shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the auction winner.  We will work in full cooperation with the transport company of your choice.  Vehicle pick-up must be within 14 days of end of auction.  Thank you.   We are the promoters of the Deutsche Classic, Mid Atlantic’s premier all German automotive event held in Reading, PA on Saturday July 11th, 2015 as well as the European+ Automotive Auction series.
