Enjoy all the beauty along with those modern conveniences you don’t want to sacrifice.
Maybe you’ve always fantasized about owning an Auburn Speedster but gave up on the idea a long time ago. While it might not be the most realistic dream, this 2004 Auburn Speedster Replica is far more attainable. Made by Speedster Motorcars in Clearwater, Florida and being offered for sale through Fast Lane Classic Cars Inc., there are some serious advantages to owning this car patterned after a true American classic.
You get a nice 5.3-liter Vortec V8 with fuel injection, so this Speedster can really move. That modern powertrain also handles slow cruising in hot weather like a champ, eliminating the stress of worrying about overheating. That powertrain backs up the brash looks of this car, because the smooth orange paint and wide whitewall tires really scream for attention. You also get the classic hood ornament, something that’s just not used on modern cars. At shows, you won’t mind popping the hood since there’s a cool carbon-fiber engine cover to really dress things up.
Few people even know about the existence of Auburn, an American automaker that had a stellar reputation during its heyday. The company made many Speedsters before going bankrupt in 1937, but the most memorable was the 851 launched for the 1935 model year. Thanks to low production numbers and a run cut short, not many of the original cars were made. That means today they go for big bucks, putting ownership well out of reach for most people. This replica allows you to have a car with that same elegant look of fine craftsmanship but at a fraction of the cost. It also provides greater comfort, so you can really enjoy cruising through town.
Among those modern amenities is power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes, which make controlling this car a joy instead of a chore. When you have the white convertible top and windows up, air conditioning will keep you cool. An onboard CD player also allows you to play favorite tunes while cruising.
