Description
Delivered from the factory as an Orange (711) Reutter-bodied coupe, the car was converted in the style of a Speedster as part of the aforementioned refurbishment in the 1980s. The forward sheet metal and cowl were modified to accommodate a tinted Speedster-style windshield, while the doors and front trunk lid were replaced with fabricated aluminum panels.

Delivered from the factory as an Orange (711) Reutter-bodied coupe, the car was converted in the style of a Speedster as part of the aforementioned refurbishment in the 1980s. The forward sheet metal and cowl were modified to accommodate a tinted Speedster-style windshield, while the doors and front trunk lid were replaced with fabricated aluminum panels. Louvers have been added to the steel rear bodywork and removable twin-grill decklid, and custom aluminum headlight covers top the empty headlight buckets.
Previously finished in silver, the car has been repainted black and was recently fitted with a black Haartz soft top. Further exterior details include a chrome roll hoop, a single central exhaust outlet, Carrera-style bumpers, and gold-finished Speedster and 1600 Super badging. Chips and cracks in the paint are noted across multiple body panels, and the removed door striker trim panels and data plates are viewable in the gallery.
Silver 15″ wheels feature aluminum barrels mated to steel centers and are mounted with 195/60 Toyo Ultra Z900 tires. According to the consigning dealer, the car rides on strengthened trailing links and aluminum shocks up front with coilovers fitted at the rear. Braking is handled by Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, a 912-sourced master cylinder, and stainless steel lines.
The cabin houses low-back bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl and accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard. The inner door panels have been removed and replaced with aluminum panels. The exposed floor pans are finished in black, and corrosion is visible along the left footwell. A Fuel Safe fuel cell is stored in the front trunk.
The leather-wrapped Lecarra steering wheel features a Porsche crest and fronts VDO green-letter instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge. Aftermarket auxiliary gauges are located centrally on the dash, while an 8k-rpm tachometer is mounted below. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled flat-four was reportedly sourced from a Porsche 912 before being overbored to displace 1,725cc, converted to dry-sump lubrication, and balanced. Equipment is said to include JE pistons, a 356C crankshaft, Carillo connecting rods, ported cylinder heads, dual Solex carburetors, and an additional oil cooler with dual fans. Custom-fabricated aluminum valve covers have been installed, and the consigning dealer states that the engine requires further tuning for street use.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed close-ratio manual transaxle.
Historical photos of the car as well as articles featuring Wayne Williams Metal Shaping are viewable in the gallery below. A spare set of springs and a black tonneau cover will also accompany the sale.
