California-based Kitzrieg produces build-it-yourself kits of Porsche’s original Speedster roadster and 550 Spyder, but they also sell a version of the Porsche 356A coupe that was originally built from 1956-’59. Each basic kit comes with a hand-laid fiberglass body, racing-style tube frame, all suspension and steering components, four-wheel disc brakes, wiring harness, complete interior plus all necessary trim and hardware. You supply the air-cooled engine of your choice and figure out your own paint. The Speedster or Spyder kits start at $10,000, while the coupe version sells for $15,000.
