Wayne's going to freak when he sees this. His is just a standard 959, but this......this is a lightweight 959 RSR. A very rare car indeed.

Yea, thats a Porsche 959 Amphibious car, used on the water in back. Dual purpose, what a find. I'll bet Wayne's only runs on roads.

I like the big gaps behind the headlights.

I also think this angle says it all:



Note the subtle gap between the fender and door. Styling genius!

Still, if the tub is good, it might be a good candidate for some lightweight body parts from GT Racing...

Plus it's a passenger-side wiper delete model. Very classy.

I noticed the interior needs a little TLC AND it does have a top!!

Q: By any chance does the car have a top that comes up and down or is it a permanent convertible
A: It has a top that attaches to the windshield, but it is not a frame top.

OMG! That's just wrong! The laughs alone are worth more than the car.

Can I buy the ghia?

It says he's selling it for a friend who's ex-hubby owned it. Sounds like she did well to dump any clown who would own a car like that.

Why would the owner want to part with such a magnificent machine?? I would love to be seen in such a fine automobile. The bidding war will be starting very soon on this item.
