Looks like the perfect 959, although I prefer them in white... but that's just me  Being fully US certified, I guess it's gonna sell pretty fast, considering how rare this car is in the States

It, by now means, is a pretty car. I think I love it because of everything it stood for when it came out.

i seriously not liking the looks of 959, am I the only one?  I admit I was more of an F40 fan by the time... and I still am. Only difference is that back then I was against any rival of the F40. But now I can appreciate what is probably the best and most advanced Porsche ever  I wouldn't mind having both in my garage.

you need also the Carerra GT in the garage  , seriously i like the 959, it's the first street legal supercar from zuffenhausen i think, but the price is too high imo.

But now I can appreciate what is probably the best and most advanced Porsche ever  I wouldn't mind having both in my garage. when I first time saw it in Prague's street years and years ago when if you would be lucky you could see 1(one) sportscar (porsche, ferrari etc) in 2 weeks I thought what the hell that 993 did to the owner that he tuned it so badly

I have always disliked how this car looks (too heavy, especially in the rear!) but I do love the car itself!
The F-40 is infinitely more desirable in almost every way to me though, despite my serious affliction of Porscheophillia!
I remember I was working as a mechanic at a motorcycle dealership in Birmingham(Alabama) back when the 959 was out. We had a customer who was a car mechanic and specialized in high end Euro-cars, particularly Ferrari and Maserati. The place he worked at, the one exotic dealer in Birmingham at the time, had a 959 which they were trying to get US DOT legal for a customer. My friend got to ride with the owner one night on a highly illegal, pre-DOT modification, run around the interstates surrounding Birmingham. I remember him saying they hit over 160mph on one stretch which at the time was amazing speed! I got to see the car in person at that shop and I remember being dumbfounded by it! I was 100% a motorcycle guy at the time, but I was beginning to appreciate cars more ( I had just got a Scirocco!), and that thing which I had only seen in magazines was absolutely stunning! Some cars you really have to see in person to fully appreciate and I think this is one of them. I wish i could see one again.
BTW, If I remember correctly that 959 sat in that shop for over a year and eventually the owner took it home, unsuccessful in getting it US DOT legal! That would have sucked!
