Looks great in red - my challenge is the color combo. Definitely like the tan interior, and the door cards and dash coveting in leather just sold me. I think your front looks 55 ish with your options so that’s opening some possibilities for mods to accomplish. I’m still debating the twin bullet taillights.
Very cool car mate. It's very rare, if at all, to see one of these replica coupe's here in Australia. You see a few speedster replicas now and then, yet when they're for sale, they're usually around $60 to 80k! May I ask what sort of money this would be as it is? No problem if you'd prefer not to say. I have a backdated 78 911, yet I'm bored with it (weird I know!) and want a 356 coupe, but don't possess the funds (anywhere from $150k and up for a real one). I'd sell my car in a heartbeat if this was available in right hand drive.
Thank you for the tour and walk around. Your coupe is beautiful. Great job and excellent information and detail. I'm contemplating a used purchase, and your video provides information I've been trying to find. Unfortunately the JPS website doesn't have a link for their coupe offering. One difference I've noticed between some couples is seat choices. Your car has Speedster seats versus the 2 piece seats found in regular 356 cars. Is this an option selection?
Hopefully the video helped. The seats in mine are custom speedster seats...they are 8 inches taller in the back. Send John at JPS an email...they get coupes in all the time for resale. Troy Sloan also sells used replicas
Hi there, I’m very interested in your build and would you tell me the price range for a build like this? And which shop you went for? I have been doing my research for a while and seems like Vintage Motors and JPS are pretty solid on their builds. The power window, heated seat and the boxer engine are exactly what I’m looking for. Im leaning towards a speedster with a removable hard top as I’d like it to be more drivable in rain. Anyways, it’d be appreciated if you can share some info.
@@jeffinillinois the pipes may be treated during manufacturing....im unsure... maybe over many many years it could be a problem, but I am sure the coolant lines will far outlast the car.
@@awilson9530 I’m watching all of them at the moment. I’d like to get something similar, no bumpers, as a daily driver. Need to see if JPS can do a RHD first.
it boiled down to driveability, reliability, and hp......the cost would have been considerably more for a vw built to the same hp level...heck I don't have to change the plugs in the subi till 100k miles. as a bonus I get hot water heat and a.c.
@@stevemcevoy843 maybe I could have said that better, yes you can have a.c. and heat with a vw engine..the heat is the old forced air vs the hot water heat with a subi
@@stevemcevoy843 haha...im not sure you will ever get a car guy to say that's too much hp.....i think the big subi 2.5 is a great motor for the car...alot of power but drivable. it's a good in medium between the 150hp vw and the 300hp turbo subi motor. another thing I can feel no reduction in hp with the a.c. on with the subi...i order the same motor if I had to do it again
if i had wanted a new 911 that looks like all other new 911s.. I would have bought one, even with all the add ons...this is still a much different vehicle than a new 911.
And you said you are not going to race it, 230 BHP to much for car that light, car ,it only weighs in at 835 kilos . I would want to up rate the brakes with that much BHP, Take it easy in it, enjoy it,

That is so bad ass!!!
So clean!!!!
Can they put the emergency brake in the same position as the original 356 ? Similar to the 356 made by Specialty Auto 356’s.
it is possible. I have seen many replicas that have the brake in the original location. for me as long as I have one, the location doesn't matter.
very nice! How does it drive?
It drives and handles Amazing!
What did they use for coolant lines?
1.5 inch exhaust pipe
@@awilson9530 thanks! Do you think they will be strong enough?
@@jeffinillinois sure, internal pressure isn't that high and the lines never move...much stronger than rubber hose
@@awilson9530 how about galvonic corrosion?
@@jeffinillinois the pipes may be treated during manufacturing....im unsure... maybe over many many years it could be a problem, but I am sure the coolant lines will far outlast the car.
Interested to know if you have an inner wing or what is inside the wheel arch? Thank in advance
there are sheet metal inner finders that only cover half the forward inner fender on the rear, none on the front
@@awilson9530 thanks. Enjoy.
@@awilson9530 ps. Love it by the way.
@@stevemcevoy843 there are a couple of newer videos on my channel..if you're interested
@@awilson9530 I’m watching all of them at the moment. I’d like to get something similar, no bumpers, as a daily driver. Need to see if JPS can do a RHD first.
Why did you go for a Scuby and not Aircooled engine?
it boiled down to driveability, reliability, and hp......the cost would have been considerably more for a vw built to the same hp level...heck I don't have to change the plugs in the subi till 100k miles. as a bonus I get hot water heat and a.c.
@@awilson9530 Oh that’s interesting - the AC and Heat is a Suby option / extension only? I had not got that from the options sheet John sent me.
@@stevemcevoy843 maybe I could have said that better, yes you can have a.c. and heat with a vw engine..the heat is the old forced air vs the hot water heat with a subi
@@awilson9530 got it! Do you think it needs the extra HP? Ie is 150bhp not enough in a light car like that?
@@stevemcevoy843 haha...im not sure you will ever get a car guy to say that's too much hp.....i think the big subi 2.5 is a great motor for the car...alot of power but drivable. it's a good in medium between the 150hp vw and the 300hp turbo subi motor. another thing I can feel no reduction in hp with the a.c. on with the subi...i order the same motor if I had to do it again

Nice car but heated seats, power windows, bluetooth... why didn't you just buy a new 911? But hey each to their own I suppose, Enjoy
if i had wanted a new 911 that looks like all other new 911s.. I would have bought one, even with all the add ons...this is still a much different vehicle than a new 911.
Lovely car I'm jealous 😆would have mine in blue though🙂
such a great looking car/ good for you my friend / good for you
Take my money ! Nice nice
And you said you are not going to race it, 230 BHP to much for car that light, car ,it only weighs in at 835 kilos . I would want to up rate the brakes with that much BHP, Take it easy in it, enjoy it,
brakes have been upgraded to disc. Car has great controllable power. I absolutely love every second I get to spend behind the wheel.
