Price: US $200.00
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.
