This Porsche 356A Coupe replica was commissioned to be built by JPS Motorsports of San Marcos, California, by the seller, who received the car in March 2024. Power comes from a 2.5-liter Subaru flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and the fiberglass body is finished in blue over red leather and tartan cloth upholstery. Additional details include a Link Atom X engine management system, 15″ wide-five wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, and a retro-style radio. This 356A coupe replica shows 54 miles and is now offered by the seller with a clean California title listing it as a 1969 Volkswagen.
The steel-reinforced fiberglass body is finished in Porsche Aquamarine blue and is mounted to a modified Volkswagen chassis. Exterior details include gold-finished Porsche and Carrera badging, a GT-style louvered decklid, pop-out rear quarter windows, teardrop taillights, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, and body-color bumpers with polished stainless steel overriders and rubber impact strips.
Wide-five 15×5.5″ alloy wheels are painted silver and mounted with 185/65 Lionhart LH-501 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.
The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in red leather with tartan inserts and are equipped with retractable three-point seat belts. Red leather also covers the dashboard pad, door panels, and the boots for the shifter and parking brake, while additional interior details include gray square weave carpet, Coco mats, an analog clock, air conditioning, crank-actuated power windows, a Vintage Speed shifter, and a RetroSound radio with Bluetooth connectivity.
The wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a central tachometer flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge with readouts for engine temperature and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 54 miles.
The Subaru-sourced 2.5L flat-four features dual overhead camshafts, a Link Atom X engine management system, a polished intake manifold, and an open-element conical air filter. The radiator is mounted horizontally behind the nose of the car. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Rancho Performance Pro-Street four-speed manual transaxle that has reportedly been modified with a “Freeway Flyer” gearset.
