1956 Thunder Ranch Porsche 550 Spyder Replica
The car is powered by a mid-mounted 1,914cc Volkswagen flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle and equipped with a black soft top and tonneau cover, leather engine cover straps, and a center-fill fuel tank. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes.
Additional appointments include latch-and-link lap belts and a fire extinguisher mounted to the tubular frame on the driver’s left. A wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel with a Porsche crest horn button fronts period-style instrumentation housed in a body-colored dashboard.
