The Beck Spyder is built in the image of the famed Porsche Spyder and comes from Special Edition, Inc., which was formed in the early 1980s and has been influential in the evolution of the specialty automotive industry by providing high quality replications of these iconic favorites. Their engineering and design criteria are reported as factors in providing a superior product.

Among the listing of the standard equipment that comes with a Beck Spyder, you will find a three-inch DOM tubular chassis, hand-laid fiberglass bodywork, a full leather interior, vintage-style seatbelts (lap only), a full-size spare tire, steel wheels, a manual scissor top with matching side curtains and finished in a high quality basecoat/clearcoat paint.

The car has an overall height of just 40-inches and has a curb weight of 1,300 pounds. The Beck front suspension is a fully adjustable twin torsion I-beam and the rear is a torsion bar setup with adjustable spring plates. The Beck brakes are listed as front discs and rear drum with the handbrake on the rear wheels.

This particular Beck Spyder is presented in silver; reminisce of the Porsche racecars of the period, with a dark red interior and driven by a 1,750-cc four-cylinder horizontally-opposed engine that is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. This Beck was built in 2004 and is considered to be a great car to truly drive and enjoy while experiencing the open road in a manner that has unfortunately escaped many of us.
