Wrong. If the license fee was $1422.00, the purchase price was $284,400. (About market value, coincidentally).

Your math would not be right even if the license fee was at the higher rate, before the increase was rescinded. :confused:

i agree, the only 959 that i liked was the paris dakar version
the normal one looked like the designer watched to many episodes of Miamy Vice, trying to look like a badass, but with the fluffy hairdo, wrong looking jacket and the mocassins , while the Paris Dakar version looked like a mean SOB

The fastest it can go
 

Pedal to the metal:D

I stand Corrected. I figured the $1422 was the sales tax also the car is older than 11 years so it is the base reg fee not actual value V L F .Steve

Paris Dakar version was really sweet, but how about the 961 version?

WTF are you smoking, homestyle? If the tax was $1422, (8.25% in L.A. county), the purchase price would be $16,729.41. I'm not exactly Stephan Hawkings, but this is pretty simple multiplication. ;)

Whatever, ROCK ON, BRO!! http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat4.gif

hmm dunno, 961 looks just as funny to me , even a real 959 looks like a 911 with a Gemballa body kit to me, which might explain why everytime somebody thinks he spotted one, there is an endless discussion if it's a real one or a SC with mods...

Alas, it is real. I had shut the car down in the middle of changing the ride height to see what would happen -- you can find pix somewhere on 6speedonline of it in various heights...etc.

Car is unbelievable. Sorry I didn't know about the gathering Sat. Morning. I was driving up around where you guys were too.

Wow, man, is that one of Canepa's cars? Must be an unbelievable ride. Do you use it as a daily driver?

Not one of Canepa's cars... Bought from Japan with help of friend... Did all the importing, show/display/epa...etc... Then to Andial for fixing up. Car was in good shape. A few minor issues to address now that I've put some miles on it.

I don't use it everyday, but I use it the way it should be used, if you know what I mean.
I've been waiting since 1987 for this car, so I don't let it just sit there in the garage...

Do you have any pics? I'm sure guys on this board would be absolutely thrilled and drooling to look at them and to hear what it's like to drive such a machine. Who is working on the car? Andial?
