Happy Friday thanks for your great videos which lift my spirits here in depressing New Jersey over how things are being handled over the virus. I feel like I’m not in America at times. I can’t wait to be back in Florida. Keep up the great work and thank you very much. Be well.
Yinz should catch that Bill and MaryAnn collab video that came aht. Friggen Peter ran the camera and Bill himself was on camera, being interviewed. 😶🌫️
I want one so bad. I think if I ever make it rich, (millionaire rich) I’ll have a couple nice cars. Some current year European sedan, maybe a c8 vette. But I’m going to have 20-30 poor man’s classic cars. MG, Miata, c5, fox body, mr2, 240sx, and of course some 80s-00s bmw and vw products Oh and a road equipped “formula Vee.” If you don’t know what it is, I highly encourage some research. Amazing little car. Poor man’s Ariel atom if you throw some mirrors and lights on it.
I own the same one and I love it more than my authentic 66' 911 or my replica Carrera GT. It just has so much aesthetic! Great video although I have red sneakers too...lol Thanks!!
I feel most of what Bill says can be put into a book, each section starts with a car review but inevitably goes on to things Bill's noticed in life in people around him. There will probably have to be a PG version.
Love this car...after watching Doc hollywood and being a massive fan of Marty...wanted one of these for a few years...this car can make anyone look cool 👍 selling konk 🤣
Vintage speedster in Arizona build them them custom so there are a lot of things you can add also different engines it don't has to be a VW they offer also Subaru with 120 PS or even Porsche engine depending what you like and how much you are willing to spend on a car like that . It usually needs a valve adjustment every 3000 miles and an oil change too The price starting at $ 35000.00 and up The reason you don't find so many in black ,it is a small car and they just don't looking that great in black
First car was a ‘68 Karmann Ghia - a Beetle with a swoopy body set up as a two seater. Modified engine with a 2-bbl. Holley “Bug Spray” carburetor, headers and a Hurst shifter, which tamed the wonky shift linkage, including a trigger reverse lockout. Biggest issue with this transmission was that 4th gear was an overdrive and a big jump from 3rd. So the acceleration just died when you hit the 3-4 shift at about 55 mph. Porsches had a closer ratio for 4th gear, which meant this didn’t happen. In this cars, the engine noise, the light weight (1500 lbs.) and the lack of any serious sound insulation meant that the “perceived speed” was much higher than the actual speed. That’s why they are fun to drive at more or less legal speeds on public roads. In 1970, VW went to a dual ported intake cylinder head and replaced the swing axle with a double jointed rear axle that maintained wheel camber as the independent suspension worked. That’s the platform you should want for building this replica. More predictable handling and better breathing for the engine.
Bill, I've already told you a few times, there are sunglasses with video camera built on it. So, you will have both hands free. It cost maybe $50. Try to get one, you stubborn old man. 🤪 I love to have one with a Boxter engine on it.
What could be the prices of a replica of this level and also a genuine speedster? Just starting the video but assuming the price doesn't get mentioned..
Search for Nick Shabazz on TH-cam. Totally different field, but you remind me a lot of him, both in terms of voice and how you speak. I wonder why this video has so many down-votes?
You're gonna get a 4 cam 356? U thought sure that was only available for the 550? Anyway, probably a better question is the size of the engine and if it's a 1776 or larger then it's a replica. What's sad about the VW scene? Modded Air Cooled VWs kick ass!!!
Is it real? Yea I know... The same thing also happens with original/restored cars. I drive a '29 Model A Ford Phaeton. I've been asked while getting fuel if it was real. Once got asked by a smart ass teenager if I bought the car new...
“Yes it’s real” is not the answer. With something like this, I’d proudly say “no I built this in my garage”. All the fun of driving it without the fear of having an irreplaceable piece of history get totaled. Feel the same way about cobra replicas. You could never rip around a track in a real cobra without fearing the consequences of a mistake. A relics though? SEND IT! If you hit a wall, you hit a wall. Ittl suck, but it’s replaceable.
Wow, Bill's so lucky to have an insightful genius like you making comments; and then you were sure to add.."Thanks for the free content" but alas, you just forgot.
@@Dave.S.TT600 He's been making these videos for years and always needs his hands free. Not that hard to figure out. But thanks for your snarky comment, I'm sure it was helpful to all concerned. And it's not 'free content' like a movie costing millions is 'free' - he's trying to sell cars after all. It's an advertisement.
@@signalfire6 it hasn't been 'Free' reading your reply either; quite draining really. i'll let you get back to producing marvel movies or whatever it is you do. Later, Jerk.
I wish I could post a picture, I had two real 356's,,,, one 1954 model D cabriolet red, and a white 1957 which a French film company gave me as a présent,, I really enjoy your channel sweets!🇫🇷❤️💋
I don't care for buying classics through car dealers. And someone who would sell them when they come and ask you hey want to sell your classic and con them and cheat them out of $ to get them is sick and wrong. I will buy mine from a personal owner public.
100000 people they will see this car......but.... only one can understand that is not original.......and the worst... to drive the original porche and all to believe is a replica........
The road test says it all..................Uh Oh , now I hear my mother's voice in my head; "IF you don't have anything nice to say......just don't say anything" I luv me sum kars, but honest to gawd, I gest don't get those no-Speed-ster thingies. Didn't get them then, and still don't. Does it have something to do with a german sense of humor? Or, Maybe I'm not squinting hard enuf?
I'm still laughing at the "knock on the fender test" comment. 🤣🤣 Bill's humor and these cars keep me entertained!
Watching this was a great way to start the weekend!

I consider the Speedster replicas some of the ONLY acceptable replicas. Thank you SO much for sharing.
Why is that?
Thank you for pronouncing Porsche the correct way.
Weather report, ornithology report, history lesson and car review all in one video 😍
True that
We finally get to see the face behind the voice. My day is complete.
HoschtonBoy there is a much older video where you can see him, too.
A glimpse at 17:06….reflection on Frunk hood
Yinz should catch that Bill and MaryAnn collab video that came aht. Friggen Peter ran the camera and Bill himself was on camera, being interviewed. 😶🌫️
This reminded me of my father's MG. He loved it.

17:55 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica Start Up Sound
Sweet review! Love those wheels. Totally retro and great.
Great review, it’s very interesting car to learn about!! Looks great from any angle!!
I own the same one and I love it more than my authentic 66' 911 or my replica Carrera GT. It just has so much aesthetic! Great video although I have red sneakers too...lol Thanks!!
I'm am so loving this colorful video... Great History Lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect timing Bill! Pizza just arrived and I was wondering what to watch while I enjoy my pizza
Can't wait to see you review that beautiful Jaguar back there Bill.
Working at Aardvark imports Austin Tx. 1980. Built an Intermechanica replica for a doctor. Straight time, sweet.
I feel most of what Bill says can be put into a book, each section starts with a car review but inevitably goes on to things Bill's noticed in life in people around him. There will probably have to be a PG version.
1 in 12 billion! That makes PERFECT SINCE!
Awesome channel thank you
Doc Ferdy was a DUDE man! Some of the worlds bestest cars came from him man!
tachometer doesn't work?
By far the finest replica I have ever seen. Please let me know when it goes up for sale.
Love this car...after watching Doc hollywood and being a massive fan of Marty...wanted one of these for a few years...this car can make anyone look cool 👍 selling konk 🤣
Coco mats, wow. That reminds me of the old MG Mitten catalog days. Didn’t know they’re still being made.
Yes. Cocomats.com makes them for any car and of very high quality. I have them in in several of my cars.
I always say " If you can touch it , Its real!
Awesome, what's the name of the factory that put them together n sell them, any website?
Top Gun made this car famous. Maverick, it wasn't your fault...
Vintage speedster in Arizona build them them custom so there are a lot of things you can add also different engines it don't has to be a VW they offer also Subaru with 120 PS or even Porsche engine depending what you like and how much you are willing to spend on a car like that .
It usually needs a valve adjustment every 3000 miles and an oil change too
The price starting at $ 35000.00 and up
The reason you don't find so many in black ,it is a small car and they just don't looking that great in black
There is a PCA sticker on lower right of windshield. Wonder what the other Porsche Club members think of the car? As a PCA member, I think it!
even though it s a replica, it s just awesome!
very nice video. What does this car sell for?

Bill's stubbornness and grouchiness is why we love him! 😁
@@MisterMikeTexas yes we do love Bill, I Aldo miss Mary-Ann. She became a farmer, having fun with chickens and pigs. Hope she is doing fine.
Now only if you can find a half million dollars locked in the trunk just like the movie 48 HRS.
How much the kit Porsche 357 snd te Shelby?
18:41 wowww look at bill 👀.
I watch just for the weather. The rest is gravy.
Wow that thing is beautiful
Indeed! much better than that modern crap on personal lease
A friend of mine lives over off Rattle Snake Hammock, I’m sending him over there!
What could be the prices of a replica of this level and also a genuine speedster? Just starting the video but assuming the price doesn't get mentioned..
I have a 1965 beetle and can't drive it anywhere without being chatted up about it and hearing stories about how they owned one
Is this car still for sale?
I ❤ youre voice .
i don't love your grammar.
Dave S. Dave you are talking shit on everyone’s comment. You are making me laugh lol
@@corvettemode1556 yep. i'm eating breakfast cereal for dinner, while i do it. Have a good day, Friend!
@@Dave.S.TT600 it's wall grammar 😊
So, Larry has a shell company?
Now that's funny
Is that a Nissan 300z turbo next to the speedster
I’d rather have a replica then the real thing.
Such a crystal clear windscreen 😂
Anybody notice the tach doesn’t seem to be working?
looks like real Speedster I will appreciate if let me know where are manufactured and the price thanks !
Bill, you need a GoPro! Beautiful car as always.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a review of that Jag XJ I saw in the lot!!
Loved my 1987 z car!

True

Anyway, probably a better question is the size of the engine and if it's a 1776 or larger then it's a replica.
What's sad about the VW scene? Modded Air Cooled VWs kick ass!!!
One correction, chassis of Porsche and VW completely different, former safe at twice the speed
@5:30 LOLOLOL you’re hilarious, Bill!
This guy just talking about anything is pure comedy😂
Anyone that "knocks" on my Porsche is getting "knocked" out. 😉
Your friend should get a vanity plate that reads, “1TSFAKE”
"Is it real?!?"
touch it and say "yes, it is real"
Tach doesn’t work
James Dean and Dylan McKay made them famous.
How much is this replica worth
Tach ain't working.
that 2006 or so Jeep Grand Cherokee looks like a Hummer in front of that little Speedster LOL
Is it real? Yea I know... The same thing also happens with original/restored cars. I drive a '29 Model A Ford Phaeton. I've been asked while getting fuel if it was real. Once got asked by a smart ass teenager if I bought the car new...
Bill get a camera mount lol.
aww- the beauty...cheers from germany.
best thing to say is robably `hologram`...should shut the blowhards off...
cheers for mentioning Tatra- i am half czech half german...so i know this stuff lol
I'd love to drive it aggressively. Perhaps blip the throttle between gears just for the shizzle.
“Yes it’s real” is not the answer.

Bill, where da hell u been? Lol
I been waiting on a new video from u all week!....
Their very first car (besides the streamlined coupe) was mid-engined and they should have stuck with that configuartion.
Bio thanks for sharing.
It's a 36hp spa bath!
Tach not working
Bill I need you to help me find a good 140 series mercedes preferably a 600

I learned so much about everything but the car. why are we talking about the seashell business?
Blablabla.
Fix the tach.
indeed Kenny, but i'm sure you mean't to also add..."Thanks for the free content / great video and excellent Porsche history narration"

Bill - that's not good advice to knock on someone's car - real or replica you will still get a knuckle sandwich - great reviews though.
Tach inoperative
I thought this was a car review?
Have ford focus ?
Porsche start building after the war, cars in a bodywork in Austria, motors and frames comes russian occupation administred aera.
why the HELL would anyone buy this stupid thing
stupid like wearing a fake rolex or carrying a fake louis vuitton
Just get vanity plates “NOTREAL”
Maybe too much digressing
Broken tachometer...
I am sure Porsche owners know this history. Get to the point.
48hrs car......
Hologram lol
Trop de bla-bla-bla
Tach doesn't work.
Speedometer either
oops looks like the speedo works.
