1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Replica in Silver — CB Performance Flat-Four, 4-Speed Manual
About this vehicle
Built in 2003 on a tubular steel frame with fiberglass bodywork, this 550 Spyder replica captures the spirit of one of the most recognizable racing silhouettes of the 1950s. Silver over red. CB Performance-built flat-four under the rear deck, 4-speed manual transaxle — it's a turn-key driver, not somebody's half-finished garage experiment.
Silver fiberglass wraps the body in all the right proportions, and the details have been thought through. The removable padded driver's headrest fairing is held down by leather straps, the hood wears a polished fuel filler, and a faired mirror sits on the driver's side. At the tail, the center-mounted exhaust outlet exits cleanly, flanked by red taillight spears. Gold Spyder scripts, Mobil Flying Pegasus fender decals, and 1000 Miglia door graphics round out an exterior that reads period-correct without being overdone. Powder-coated 5-lug wheels wear BFGoodrich Advantage T/A tires dated 2016.
Inside, red upholstery covers the racing-style bucket seats, with black shoulder harnesses crossing the cockpit. A three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel pairs with a matching shift knob. The gauges are vintage in style, set into a painted dashboard. Worth knowing: a previous owner had begun forming aluminum panels for the floor and lower door sections, work aimed at a more authentic look. The car comes with a soft top, side windows, and a black tonneau cover for days when the weather doesn't cooperate. Seller confirms all gauges and electronics are working as expected.
The CB Performance 2,160cc Type 1 air-cooled flat-four runs dual 44mm Weber carburetors and breathes through a 911-style cooling shroud. Exhaust exits through a dual Magnaflow ceramic-coated system, and drive goes rearward through a 4-speed manual transaxle with hydraulic clutch actuation. Coilover rear shocks handle suspension duty; four-wheel disc brakes handle the stopping. A fresh oil change has been done, and the seller says nothing else is needed.
The odometer reads approximately 16,268 miles. Offered from Richmond Hill, Georgia, with a clean title and one key.
