MD you are one hellova photographer...your camera is awesome! Love the GT but I would rather have the red 959 next to it, was it real? I am probably one of only a hand full of people (not connected with the dealership) in the US to see 8 of them at one time (5 red and 3 white) at Al Holbert Porsche/Audi in Bucks County, PA back sometime around 1986 or 1987. Holbert (yes the famous Al Holbert) was the Porsche dealer that took possession of all of the 959s that entered the US. Of course these cars never became street legal, although I often wondered how a cop would know the difference if he caught you driving down the road in one. The dealer had them behind a 8 ft. wooden fence (which I had to climb to get a peek at them) in their back lot just sitting outside with 4 inches of snow covering them. I always wondered why they left them outside considereing even back then they had a sticker price of apprx. $400,000

959s did bacame street legal in US, Bill Gates and Paul Allen wanted the cars badly.
