Just for fun. I came across this 959 FS in White Plains NY.

Wow, all this time and it still hasn't grown on me. Insanely rare car, to be sure, but it's a love hate, and I'm the latter.

I'm definitely the former - like the 993, I think it's one of the most beautiful expressions of the 911 concept, plus it was technologically revolutionary at the time and is still very interesting today. That, and just about any street engine that makes 450 HP from 2.85 liters in stock form has to be something special. Hard to accurately guess at the value, especially in the USA where there are almost none of them to be found, but I'd have to guess for one in good condition with only about 10,000 miles like that one that it'd have to be worth more now than its original purchase price, given the tiny production run and high desirability.

One was for sale locally back in the summer, asking price was $450 CDN, IIRC.

What's that in US funds? $485K? $490?

At the time it would've been close to more like $400K or 425, after yesterday's 3 cent drop, maybe 470.
