Then he remembered that he had multiple 356 Porsches—replicas built with Mazda Miata chassis—back at the Willow Springs track. He had been using them as fillers for some of the scenes filmed there. “We had to think about what was available, and we knew we had three Porsches we raced in Willow Springs.They were on set, and they were reliable: Boom! We got it!” Johnson says. “That might not sound like the purest path, but at the same time, Porsche isn’t a second-best choice, either. They played a huge part, even in the Southern Californian racing era, so why wouldn’t there be a Porsche around? He put a fresh paint of coat on the one he selected, covering its racing silver with a reddish hue, and put Damon in the driver’s seat. Done. Link to "www.bloombergquint.com"

If we list them as 1960 (for example) it will show itself listed under that era, and it doesn't belong there, since it was clearly built post 2000s... If we list them under Porsche again it's wrong because Porsche has nothing to do with these replicas, and origin Germany would be wrong as well, especially if this is a Mazda underneath.
Ingo ◊ 2019-12-29 23:27	@kegare: that's the question with all replicas. I suggest to open a new category "Replica", maybe together with "Made for Movie", because, as you say, it's definitely and totally wrong to list replicas together with the original vehicles. This goes for all kind of vehicles. Not only many Porsche 356 Speedster here are fakes, also alleged AC Cobras, Lotus Seven, many Ferrari and a plenty of tanks and other military vehicles. -- Last edit: 2019-12-29 23:33:26

That particular car, provided by John Steele of JPS Classics, was one of three. “It has a Brazilian tube chassis and a 2,110 cc hot rod engine with specially geared 4.12 transaxle. So it would spin tires and go like a bat,” John relates..." https://www.rcnmag.com/garage/movie-magic
