Looking for some classic Porschephile info. Experts here?
Question is; If I were wanting a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, in good condition, about how much money should I be expecting to pay?
If I found one, how could I be sure that it was authentic. I know there are good clones out there.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Depending on condition and race history 300K + , would put you in the ballpark. A very nice "Beck" reproduction, used can be had for about 10K or thereabouts.
Good Luck!!!! Steve
Good Reminder - Wanted a 550 Beck Spider...
I've seen figures of $280,000 all the way up near a million dollars for original 550s. The better the condition the car, the more money it's worth (duh). While not perfect, Beck builds a very good reproduction of the 550, that I think uses air-cooled Bug mechanicals, but I may be mistaken. Excellence did a drive and write up of one several months ago, maybe you can find that issue somewhere.
Got to look at drive a Beck a couple of years ago. Very nice reproduction and very well put together for not alot of money!

The last I heard the few that exist go from 400K to 700K, more if raced successfully.
I have a "clone" that I made, making much more sense to me
