As is the case with many of the most iconic and desirable classic cars, demand far surpasses supply, creating the chance for resourceful enthusiasts to manufacture replicas combining the style of the past with today’s modern powertrains, running gear and passenger amenities. Best of all, such replicas or recreations are eminently drivable and usable, even in modern traffic conditions.

The factory-built Speedster Motorcars replica offered here provides the timeless styling of the classic Auburn Speedster of the mid-1930s with the drivability of today’s advanced automobile with a decidedly custom touch. Michael Akins formed Speedster Motorcars in 1995 following an earlier effort.

This high-quality Auburn is powered by a General Motors 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 engine that is backed by its GM 4L60E automatic transmission and runs dual exhaust. Among the many convenience found on the speedster are power windows, power windows, power steering, power brakes and much more. The owner claims that this is “one of the best speedsters on the market.”
