Must be an acquired taste. I don't have enough time to acquire that taste...when I saw it, I was looking for a cat to sh*t in my mouth to get rid of it! The owner belongs on this board, though...spend over $20k on a car you can get $8k for when you sell it.

That car is not worth $8k, even if ".It is one in town."

If you have ever been to Stuttgart and seen the real 959 you would understand where it all comes from..it s like many 80's iconic cars you just have to see it the flesh to get it .
I would love a realy good 959 replica but sadly that is just an abotion tryng to mix different eras of Porsche styling is so wrong the hideous rag top and speedster screen ick

What a horrible waste of car. I don't think it would be half as bad if he had started with a beetle and stretched the frame. Instead he destroyed a 356 to make that abomination.

Yeah if I did not need the $$ for my 951, I'd buy a plane ticket go the guys house and personally cuss him out! I remember the 959 from Road and Track among others and the "thing" he created is an abomination!
