In June of 2009 I put contract on a 550 Spyder replica. The following pages will tell the story.
The pictures below were taken in Aug. 2010, not much work has been done. The car needs to have some assembly work done such as wiring, trans. installed and engine installed.
These cars are handmade works of art. Very similar to the originals at a fraction of the cost.
Vintage Spyders are made in Stanton CA. The cars are well built and have good following of owner's. I don't know if I would recommend going the building route over buying a good used one. The positives are that you don't get someone else's junk or problems. I wanted a fresh one that's why I went with having one built. The drawback is that the wait time to get a car is close to 2 years.
