Beck 550 Spyder Replica
Overview
The body and chassis of this Beck 550 Spyder were reportedly manufactured in 1984 and stored for many years before being acquired by the current owner in 2024. A 2.6L Subaru flat-four and four-speed manual transaxle with a hardened gear set have since been installed, and the car was painted silver with blue rear darts.
It rides on 15″ wide-five steel wheels with three-way power adjustable suspension and power-assisted disc brakes. Inside, the cabin houses heated fixed-back blue leather seats with custom stitching along with a Bluetooth stereo, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Speedhut gauges.
This 550 Spyder replica is a faithful homage to the iconic Porsche 550, offering classic styling with modern reliability through its Subaru powertrain.
