Deanger:

Thanks for the great review. Can you shoot us some rought cost numbers?

 

Numbers are tricky because the cars are so rare... The cost to convert one to US spec is about 35K. There are cars in Europe with miles on them. A google search I just did claimed to find a few at about 179K for higher miles cars. Finding low miles cars are getting hard and I've seen prices considerably higher.

I did not buy my car from Canepa. He does an extensiive re-do of the car, changing much of it. I decided I wanted a stock 959 and I wanted to convert it myself. Once the conversion was done, Andial serviced my car. Now it is mine.

PS -- Drove it in the pouring rain all day yesterday. Car is insane in the wet. I swear it was thanking me for driving it in the storm.

 

Nice! I should of guessed. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see it in person.

 

I remember drooling over the 959 as it was one of the first "production" cars to do a 3.6 sec 0-60. Likely you won't want to drop the clutch in your car to find out, but would be interested to know if it is faster 0-60 than a stock 996TT
