Default OT: Just spotted a 959 for auction in Japan

I got all excited until I did the currency conversion

25,000,000 Yen = $308,045.02 USD: http://www.braveautointernational.jp/

A 1989 model with 6k miles and Japanese Condition 4 (Looks to me like it needs a good wash):






Got me thinking if money were no objection what would you have:
  • 959
  • GT1
  • 993 GT2
  • 993 Euro RS
  • 993 Turbo S
  • CGT

^ For me it would be the 959 every time but I’ll just have to keep on dreaming for now

All we need is 10 guys with $30k and we each get it for a little over a month each per year! haha Man that's incredible.

That's a pretty good price if the car is authentic and has a good PPI.

Personally, I'd rather have the Battleship Sport Classic 993 you're working on when you've finished it.

When something like this starts to sound sensible to me....I KNOW I've been spending too much time on Rennlist!

It was HAWT for its time!

Saw one here in SD at a dealer. It has a standard 1980's 911 sized cockpit, so with the extra width on the fenders it does have a smidgen of the "overdone flares" kit car look. Didn't stop me from drooling on it. Besides, a kit car generally never has under the hood enough to justify the outrageous look...but this is a 959. ~3.2s 0-->60, good enough for me!
