Not cheap, but one of the best names in the business:
I notice that pending orders and current inventory are conspicuously absent from the sale.
Notice Beck has tried this at least twice in the past. It would take about 4 weeks to build a jig for that frame and splash a body.
"Your Choice"? Is this for only one type of the three listed?
Location, Sao Paulo?
MS Access!?
Not that some part of me isn't intrigued...
As much as I totally loved air cooled VW kits in the '70's, I think I would choose a different platform to build on today.

I'm not even sure they are selling the business. Looks like they are selling the molds.
Yeah, I think they are uploading the models they no longer intend to manufacture. If so, the price is high.
I saw this somewhere else and the consensus was it is the people who make some stuff for Beck selling old molds. The Beck name which is probably worth more than anything else is not included. Buyer beware.
I don't think this is Beck for sale. Here is another article about the opportunity: Article from another car magazine
They posted this update to the original story:
Update 02/15/2017: After publishing this article, we learned from a knowledgeable source that the equipment in this listing may be outdated tooling from a company that still produces replica Porsche bodies. Further, it's unclear whether the seller is legally able to sell any trademark or intellectual property rights associated with the production of replica Porsche bodies. Given that, and the general vagueness of the eBay listing itself, we would advise any potential buyer to proceed with extreme caution. What follows is our original report, published on February 10th before the aforementioned details were known to us.
I love the 550.
There seems to be some connection to Beck. I see the term Chamonix mentioned on the Beck site, and Chamonix is in Brazil.
I was in Brazil in the 80's. There were a bunch of kit cars running around then. I think almost all of them were air cooled VW based. And I think most of the cars down there, including the AC VW's, ran on ethanol, like most of the people. I also saw quite a few Lotus 7 clones, including a S4, which I have no idea if it was real of not. I also saw an S4 or a clone in Israel.
