Very Rare 959...

Somebody buy this car! Only one like it in the world with this particular body style. For those that have dreamed of 959 ownership, it may be closer to reality than you think. Porsche engineering at its best. Even comes with a roll bar. At the buy it now price of $14k, will not last long. Act now because this deal will not last forever...I have it on my watch list..

If it wasn't so ugly it wouldn't be as ugly but would still be as badly put together.

Bring me a bucket!

Well it is good to see that I wasn't the only one who started out painting a pinewood derby car and then got carried away and finished off the Porsche.

To the necked eye, most would think this is a genuine 959...only the real enthusiast can tell the difference. The resemblance is soo close to the real thing, its scary. One look at this photo and you will know what I am talking about...It is very subtle, but if you look closely, you will notice that the replica only has 1 windshield wiper, vs. 2 on the real deal...

P.O.S.

I'm amazed that the seller would want to part with such a work of art.

Who know's, in 10 years, it may end up in a museum!!!!

or, the local dumpster

I never saw that car in any commercial...why in the world would someone even want to drive it in that condition. Purrs like a kitten on its death bed...

Flood Lamp is the correct term.

I think they should have used the 4" brush instead of the roller when painting the car.

Is that a Covin?

Or, can I fill it with dirt and plant flowers in it?

Brakes?

I guess if someone turns this into a planter you won't need brakes? Or fresh air...
