Uhhhh.... wow. In at least a couple of ways.

Wasn't there one for sale last year for $400,000? But $260,000 isn't out of line to begin with.

"Would you do this or a 959? Tough call."

Yeah, tough decision.

Good luck finding a 959 for $260K

And in my book the 959 is the most beautiful car Porsche has ever built so there is no contest as to which I'd rather own.

I love B.A.T. .. it's Christmas every morning :-)

And here is where my lack of many things Porsche gets in my way. How come this car is so valuable? Yes, I guess u am that stupid. But that is why I am asking.

No. But if you want the full story we can spend all day at your next track event going over the details, or you can put me in a car with someone..........

We had a handful of early Ruf and Ruf-lite stuff come through Phoenix in the '80s. Fast? Sure. Memorable? Not really. And a guy I used to help out at POC events a few years later had a homebuilt Ruf 930--little of this, little of that and most importantly the 5-speed box. Spent a bit of time in that car.

For OUR roads and tracks, I'd take any number of "takes" on a 930 that came out of SoCal during that era over a Ruf. They all start with the same car, and it's not rocket science to figure out what to do to "go fast."

Bottom line, if you've got torsion bar era nostalgia, and an unlimited bank account, there are many builders here who can go waaaaay beyond what these cars were. But if you're just looking to add to a collection, different story.
