You're fine. Looks ugly to me too.

I don't find it ugly, but would not trade a 4.0 for it.

The 959 needs wider wheels to fill the arches better. Looks like spare tire sized rims although decent looking spare tire rims. Mike

If this was the 959S that sold at Amelia, it was sold by Sloan, I remember seeing it on his site for a bit of time.

I was never a 959 guy.
You would have to been a 911 guy pre-959 to really like them and understand the significance.

4.0L PTS in that color blue. Crazy to sell it but then again he probably got crazy profit from it too.

I would have kept it.

959 looks like a kit car in pictures but in real life it's stunning. I saw a silver one in Germany at the museum in 1996 and can still remember the butterflies I felt looking at it. Wish someone would put wide wheels on it to fill out the arches like the race 959's.
