I'm with Jeremy. I would stomp on it as soon as I got on the street. Drive until I hit the border or a road block. I'd be the only guy in Pelican Prision with a smile.

yea that is a real 959 or the best fake i have ever seen, the rockers and jack cap are right (not one peice) but the consel bothers me, but as all porches can be different each day its probably just an updateded piece,
I think the left rear tire is in a hole in the pavement giving us that illusion How fast would I drive, I doubt I would ever be able to keep my licsence, Kevin |

No they were for ride height adjustment - sport, touring, and "driveway".
If I had a 959, I'd drive it as fast as possible on the wide open highways of southern CA, especially the 405 ![]() Actually, I'd drive it across the country - there are some SERIOUSLY nice roads through the northern part of the country - long and fast with nothing to obstruct your view for miles. |

I knew that it was real from the first couple of pictures, especially since Otto saw it up close and would know a fake right away. Actually, anyone who knows these cars could determine the model very quickly.
And that is the VIN on the temp. registration. 959s, (and all other ROW cars), do not have a VIN tag on the windshield ("A") pillar.

Heheh, yep, I'd say it's real. My thought is "was Otto driving it?"

I don't even think Getty did such a good job. I say real....and further...I say it's a 959 "Comfort" Edition.

I'm angry as hell. I've spent over 5 minutes doing 2 simple Google searches and finally couldn't load Otto's website. Goddamn dial up.
Here's the skinny: Golds' is at 360 Hampton St in Venice. I think that's across the street. This 959 IS IN OTTO'S PARKING LOT!!!! Someone care ot verify that? |
