85 Years Old & Still Plays With Cars
Chuck Beck has built numerous projects from dragsters to race cars to street cars to a Lamborghini powered motorcycle, and more. He is renown among automotive enthusiasts for his 550 Spyder, a replica of the iconic Porsche 550 Spyder from the 50s. He started producing the cars in 1982 and built 2,500 of those wonderful cars. I owned number 89 and drove it for years. In 1990 Chuck jointly developed the Shogun concept car and produced a competitive race car with his replica of the Lister. In 1998 he developed the Beck 904 prototype, a replica coupe based on the original Porsche Carrera GTS that was launched in 1963. After selling his company, today Chuck continues to spend most of his time in the shop building cars and running on a local racetrack with his buddies every week. And guess what? Today is Chuck’s 85th?birthday!
