That would definitely be interesting, as long as there's no snow or salt on the ground when I go, I may shoot a small video.

But idk how hard I'm gonna push the car, still a 27 year old car. I'll give it some gas but not gonna redline the shifts. Will post a vid and some pics when I go to pick it up.

Default 1985 IAA, 1985 Tokyo Motor Show, 1986 NAIA Chicago - Presentation of the 959

The production car was revealed for the first time in 1985 as a 1986 model at the 1985 IAA in Frankfurt, Germany. (if someone has other photos of the 959 from the 1985 IAA please post and/or send them to me) The production car is in the background, and the famous "cut-away" car is in the foreground.


and at the 1985 Tokyo Auto Show (photo below).


The "cut-away" car made an appearance at the 1986 NA Autoshow in Chicago.



Here are other photos of the production car:

Great transporter!

Here is a French version, sadly without 959 but at least with various Porsche.

RM is auctioning a 959 with an estimate of $1.1-1.4. Should be an interesting result. However from what I've seen, for some reason RM never gets high numbers with the 959, all the record 959 prices have been with Gooding.

Guess I am out of line asking $1,750,000 for mine then, even with only 2,500 miles.

I know this orange but what colors are the others?

Also, there is a yellow 964 Turbo S Leichtbau with the same "treatment" that is located on Paris.
