Porsche 550 Spyder Replica

This Beck 550 Spyder was assembled under previous ownership circa 1992 and was acquired by the seller in 2017. Work under current ownership included fitting aluminum interior panels and custom-fabricating multiple parts in addition to powder-coating the wheels, mounting Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, and installing a 2,276cc air-cooled flat-four equipped with dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors, CB Performance Magnaspark ignition, an extended capacity oil sump, a 4-2-1 center-exit exhaust system, and a DTM cooling fan kit with a Type 4 oil cooler. Additional details include a four-speed manual transaxle, four-wheel disc brakes, spun aluminum drum covers, an adjustable front axle beam, a Brandwood cable shifter, and a Safecraft fire suppression system. This 550 Spyder replica is now offered with a tonneau cover, build documents, and Ontario registration describing it as a 1992 Kit Bec. The fiberglass bodywork is mounted to a tubular steel frame and is finished in red. Exterior details include gold-finished Porsche and Spyder badging, a left side-view mirror, LED headlamps, a custom-fabricated Le Mans-style fuel filler, and a dual-grille engine cover with leather hold-down straps. A tonneau cover is included in the sale. The ventilated 15″ steel wheels have been powder-coated silver and are mounted with 155-series front and 185/70 rear Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The car has been fitted with an adjustable front axle beam, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with spun aluminum drum covers and a bias adjuster, which is mounted beside the pedal assembly. The cockpit has been lined with aluminum panels and features a battery cut-off switch, non-functional Autopulse-style fuel pumps, and a custom-fabricated aluminum pedal assembly, door hinges, and parking brake handle. Additional details include fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in brown diamond-stitched leather, Crow Enterprizes latch-and-link lap belts, a black leather tool roll, and a Brandwood cable shifter. Fire protection includes an H3R Performance fire extinguisher and a Safecraft fire suppression system with three nozzles in the engine bay. The turn signals do not cancel and the seats are equipped with heat elements but they are not connected. The wood-rimmed Derrington-style steering wheel wears a Porsche crest horn button and frames a central tachometer flanked by a 200-km/h speedometer and a combination gauge for engine temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 12k kilometers (~7k miles). The mid-mounted air-cooled 2,276cc flat-four was installed in 2018 and utilizes an AS41 dual-relief (AE) magnesium engine case, modified for full-flow oiling. The engine has been built with a 10.35:1 compression ratio, forged Mahle 94mm pistons and cylinders, Scat H-beam connecting rods, a Scat counter-balanced 82mm forged crankshaft, a Webcam 86B camshaft, and 44×37.5 043 welded and ported heads with stainless steel valves, dual valve springs, and 1.4:1 rockers. Additional details include dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors, CB Performance Magnaspark ignition, an extended capacity oil sump, and a DTM cooling fan kit with a Type 4 oil cooler in addition to CB Performance valve covers, a Bosch alternator, a 7″ billet crankshaft pulley, and a 4-2-1 center-exit exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers and an integrated Bluetooth connected oxygen sensor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle with a lightened and balanced flywheel and a Kennedy Stage 1 clutch kit. The car is registered as a 1992 Kit Bec in Ontario using the assigned VIN 2BCT04291TUT09145 shown above. The vehicle does not have a title and is being sold on its Ontario registration, which serves as the ownership document in Ontario, Canada.
