Gotta thank you tedward! After watching your acura legend review countless times, I finally went out and bought my own! I've been desperate for some sort of project, to direct my energy and efforts towards and I gotta personally thank you! If it wasn't for your videos, I'd be in a whole other world of depression. You do amazing things man! Even if people don't tell you everyday, some can't get through the day without ya!! Much love, stay healthy and happy my friend
Wow! Thank you so much Sylas. And congrats on the legend. That’s going to be a blast for years and years
@@TedwardDrives I appreciate it tons man! Hope to find you at a local car meet or something of that nature one day! You can see it in person, and I'll have to ask you to take it for a spin! Much love man, your response made my day!
@@TedwardDrives am I the only 15 year old that watches your videos
Not the only one but it’s a small group of teens with excellent taste for enthusiast cars. Glad you’re here!
This is way better than joining the dozens of current 992 GT3 videos. 356 Speedster prices are astronomical but it’s for good reason.
I saw one for $56,000 on Craigslist.
@@victorsandoval4792 ITS probably a replica
reason is not good. Its US price speculation at its finest. Those are really not that different from a Beatle. Im not denying that because its so different from modern cars its fun to drive just not for that price.
Getting into the classy stuff now! Man that speedster is gorgeous
Call me crazy, but I enjoy the silent moments in between the commentary. Just hearing the engine noise and the passing traffic. It's...serene. :)
I mean the car deserves some time to talk too.
This guy does videos for winding road magazine and he doesn’t talk in those
It's perfect. Don't need constant monologue. That's one reason I love tedward's videos.
I love the familiar sound of an air-cooled engine, thanks for this
I own a 1966 VW Beetle. Needless to say that I'm an air-cooled enthusiast. I'd love to drive a 356 Speedster: a little shorter and lighter, a little stronger and obviously with no roof in comparison to my Beetle, so guaranteed fun!
Although it's just a 1600cc car, the truth is there's no need for a bigger engine because the car has other mechanical and structural limitations such as its brakes, diagonal tires (originally) and handling on winding roads and sharp curves, so basically driving faster than what the 356 does is not very safe.
Despite of that, driving a classic car is priceless. You're immediately transported into another era and think about people like your granpa buying that car brand new and driving it as a modern car at his time. You can even imagine your mother and father as little kids playing in the back seat. You just feel happy about living this kind of experience. It's amazing.
BTW, dual carburetors make all the difference. The Germans did a very good job with this little car and its siblings, literally changing the world.
Did you hear how solid that door was when closed, wow, 1956 car sounding that solid, shows how well these cars are built.
Memories from the days of "Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed" have just assaulted me!
yes yes yes! was actually hoping for some oversteer....
Oh Man, how badly we need a re-issue of that game with modern graphics! The closest thing we can have to driving a Porsche...
@@joesam.
I would be glad even if this game was simply adapted to new versions of Windows.
Yes! That game has never been remade or equalled. For the time the graphics were really good, and I almost enjoyed the slow races vs other 356's as much as the later ones with 911 turbos and beyond. It was truly a love letter to a single carmaker, and iirc it was right before they started making crossovers so the lineage wasn't tainted.
@@NemecVader : Can't you run it using DOSBox in Win98 compatibility mode?
A couple of comments. Not to be too much of an anorak but the knob next to the ignition key is a hand throttle; 356’s don’t have chokes. I’m impressed that it actually worked as they seldom do. Also, your comment about 4th gear being useless leads me to believe that a taller top gear was installed for better highway cruising. Speedsters had the so-called BBAB gear sets which were very short gears compared to the coupes and cabriolets. Fourth gear in the Speedster should be very usable.
Your video was very enjoyable and it brought back lots of great memories as I just sold my ‘58 Speedster after having owned it for twenty years.
That little air-cooled 4 cylinder sounds so good! Such a gorgeous car and what a wonderful day for a drive. Mark this video under "healing time" because it sure makes me feel good.
Absolutely beautiful machine!
No mistaking this baby...
It's a Porsche all the way.
My only regret with this car is that it's out of my price range.
Timeless car for some lucky person.
Thanks for sharing! 👍
Oooo what a nice surprise! A fresh upload from the man
Rhode Island/Massachusetts weather had been so nice recently, that thing looks so fun to drive around here
My grandpa had one of these way back in the day! I guess this was the car that put Porsche love in my blood!
Sounds so good coming out the speakers can only imagine being in the drivers seat.
That steering wheel is why they use to tell us "HaNds aT tEn aNd tWo!!" ... 9 and 3 in that just feels like you're going in for a hug
This 356 looks awesome!
you know this Porsche is really exotic when the ignition key is actually on the right ride of the steering wheel :)
Optional "coupe" seats. 1969 I bought a 56 factory delivered speedster original owner with red coupe seats and factory hardtop. $500.00. 36,000 miles. drove it home. Sold the top for $500.00 Free Speedster.
That shape, the sound, green dials, gold lettering, well done Porsche, this is why I love cars. The only thing that I have in common with that car is the choke on my Mini, pull and twist to lock and ladies were hanging bags from there and got horrible fuel economy ahaha
The drivers' POV perspective almost makes us feel like we're driving!
''I wouldnt do long highway juants'' meanwhile l drove a 1600 beetle from dallas tx tp argentina and back. My 356 had an 1835 fuelie in it and would cruise 100+ all day in tx heat. My mom had the 73 Targa Carrera 3.2 litre l think it was l learned to drive in. Those are highway beasts. That speedster will want to run when youre given out if its whole.
gotta say ive watched millons of channels like these but you by far have the clearest voice, and keep me invested during even the most boring parts, I hope one day to do something like this! keep showing off the amazing rides!
Oh man, I love these early Porsches! As you said, the epitome of slow car fast!
From playing nfs porsche unleashed on PC a lot growing up... Wow they even got the door handle click noises accurate. Awesome car!
The engine revs sound better than almost any 4-cylinder Porsche I have ever heard,
I've had the pleasure of working on a handful of 356's. It's everything a Beetle aspires to be. I love these engines. The cylinder head design is beautiful. When you rev it, it's no VW.
Oh how I soooooo want a stick shift car again! Every time I watch your awesome drives I realize how much I detest automatics! What a gem of car!
Man does this remind me of all those years rowing through the gears of a 356 in Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed. Pretty damn good simulation too

As a Corvair lover, I have an appreciation for air-cooled Porsches. GM learned from Porsche when designing the Corvair, and let Porsche learn from them when designing the 911 (or so I've heard).
Love the sound of that engine.. my 65/912 sounds great.. but this speedster is like heavenly..
Love how there’s no rev hang. Sweet ride!!!
Wow, you are the luckiest guy alive. I would love to take a junkyard version of this and just resto-mod this with a GT3 engine, custom suspension, and LED lights. A nice exhaust would be perfect too.
Haha thanks! A gt3 engine would be wild butI think you’d snap the chassis with that much torque!
Then you'd be Rod Emory..lol
@@rippinaroundeverywhere9249 wow I did not realize that there is a guy that already does this 😂
My favorite Porsche! The sound of the engine 👌
Must be an absolute blast driving this car. I've got a classic Bug myself, love driving that thing. The Speedster just looks so good and it looks like it drives very smothly. Would love to take one for a spin someday!
I had a 70 vw k.ghia. same hp and handling...85 mph. From TX. to ontario...
If that's a vw bug it's the nicest one I've seen
This is the same car my uncle had but in orange with the racing bucket seats, He had dual side view mirrors placed out on the front fenders for some reason...like the Japanese used to do. P.S Pretty sure the lights sensors don't detect your weight but are giant metal detectors, just saying...
7:20 super clean downshift
What a beautiful gem! One of the cleanest 356 Speedster I’ve seen…👍
Revs very nicely, and it’s gorgeous. White becomes it too.
5:47 I love how these cars sound when you are up high in the rev range!
This car is easy and enjoyable as you say because it's a 'normal' car by modern standards, it's easy, simple, direct, un-fussed, and not a not crazy-fast monster like so many "perfectly un-usable" sports car with a gazillion of CVs, a numb steering and suspensions that will kill your spine.
This is one of those old cars that's not really fast but nonetheless feels fast and is engaging to drive, because it sounds awesome and everything is mechanical. At least that's what I assume. Great vid and beautiful car!!
Being so low to the ground must definitely make you feel you're going a lot faster than you really are. 60 mph probably feels like 90 in this car!
WOW. Beautiful car, your channel is awesome
Thank You Ian!
The lights are actually induction based, so it detects the steel in a chassis.
Air-cooled engine, green gauges, cocoa mats 😍
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Right after this video, I loaded up Forza Horizon 4 and drove around in a 356A Speedster! Great content!
Oh man the engine note on this old girl! Speakers at full volume
Absolutely loved that Carroll Shelby drove this at the beginning of Ford V Ferrari.
Awesome! What a classic Porsche. Love that exhaust!
That why i more love classic car than a modern car
My b coupe is a damn good time...love the ole critter!
Uh, that sounds and looks lovely!
It’s got a lot of grunt at wide open! I love how the sound changes through the revs
Yeah it goes from Beetle like boxer burble to almost angry Subaru 😃👍
Love this era of cars!! Nothing will ever compare again.
This is the car every air-cooled Beetle owner thinks their car has potential to be, but it really doesn't. Early Porsches are simply 😎
Where does a kid like you get a car like that? Love those cars! Just LOVE 'em.
Now this is the perfect way to start a Wednesday. Beautiful car!
Keep it up Tedward. This channel can go far.
Your videos are really cool. You got a new sub! Really nice old school Porsche btw 👌
Thanks!
Great car, was a passenger once but in a gorgeous red one.
Nothing like these old characters.
I had a '69 912, so no convertible, but same engine.
Fell in love with this car after Chrisopher Lambert drove one in highlander
Tedward never fails to deliver! Living the dream , driving all the cool cars! :D
Just returned from a nice morning drive in the Swiss hills. Now enjoying this video with a nice 🍫🥐 Couldn't be better!
This car is a dream.....I would be hours and hours walking around this piece of the history of automotive. The sound of the engine is like a time machine, teleporting us six decades ago. It's incredible how well it's preserved. Very good test, I already have another dream in my wish diary.: "Borrow a 356 and drive all the route 66 with It". Damn....I Will have to buy another diary. This is full.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks a lot for this test!!!!
Great car lovely video thank you for allowing me to be your passenger! Greetings from 🇬🇧
This is the perfect grandpa car!😅
McQueen has some words for you 😆
@@TedwardDrives so would a racing James Dean!!
HUGE fun to drive!
Traffic light sensors are not triggered by weight; but rather, are trigged by metal within the inductive loop field of the wires in the pavement. Pro tip - if you ride a motorcycle make sure to stop on, or close to, the seam in the pavement so the metal of the bike triggers the sensor.
What do they actually measure? The presence of a metal object on the loop id assume
@@alouisschafer7212 Yes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop
...and you think you have bad roads there Ted??? Hahahhaa.... Come over to Italy, we can go out 'pothole jumping' together!! The roads are so bad it just kills all the fun man, believe me. Makes me wanna cry...
Oh man thats what I needed. A Speedster kinda day.
after a while i just closed my eyes and listened to the engine
Thanks for the drive!
She looks gorgeous!
man tedward I just always look forwards to your uploads
That looks absolutely delightful.
Oh my god what a beautiful machine 🌟
great car for sunday drive
Nice! I actually like the long pulls between gears.
Amazing car. So beautiful! I would love to see one of these in person, let alone drive one! It's just so quaint, in a way. I love how the inspection sticker takes up a third of the height of the windshield. And the HORN. MEEP MEEP
I find Beetles to be really cool, so I never understood why people say "it's just a beetle" when they want to talk shit about Porsche cars.
same lol
Che stupenda creatura magari averne una come questa 1600...semplicemente Perfetta, ciao ciao from Italy, my compliments
Beautiful day and that engine sounds soo smooth. Great vid :)
Now THAT!, is a gorgeous car
so cool man!
I love this so much! Great videos! More classic POV drive please!
I have the same shoes and they are amazing for driving in. Great choice
2:00 they are completly different
the beauty of these and early 911's is you can race around at 9/10 and no one will know because they are so slow.
She's an absolute beauty ❤️
This car is so beautiful! 😍
That porsche speedster looks so much better than any new porsche
What a stunner. Really enjoy this. thank you.
NFS Porsche 2000 vibes!!! Also love this car in Horizon 4
Looks like the side mirror is welded to the metal stick. Oh well, other than that, I always love a Speedster.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Nice vid Ted, thanks.. 👌 Looking forward to you finding and trying out a Pre A coupe!
Hey you should start putting the full car specs in the description!! Thanks for the great content
Maybe. Specs don’t tell the whole story and i prefer to focus on the experience without muddling it
@@TedwardDrives but some people like me are interested in some cars that you drive, and dont know what they are and i know i can just google the specs but its something that's just do lovely to know
What kind of specs are you looking for?
@@TedwardDrives like the full engine specs, amount of cylinders, the size of the engine, is it sohc or dohc or no overhead cam at all, the hp and torque, and the drive train aswell, is it rwd fwd or awd, whats the gearbox like the gear amounts and the kind like is it a dct or a cvt or just anything, these might be too much but just the engine size and hp would be awesome
This car always reminds me of Top Gun!
Looks great
