Did they make any 959 convertibles?

Saw this beauty posted on Craigslist...I heard the factory made some convertible 959s...is this tru? Looks like they used some old leftover speedstar tops and winsheild...maybe for just a few produced they didn't want to make a new design. Bet that is 1 fast mofo 400hp wit no top!

no.

this is not right.

it's not a 959. More likely - a 911 with a bodykit.

if you really want it, best to go look at it in person and make sure.
