That's a tough one to fix, then when you're done try selling it with that history.

 

A US legal one is about $400,000.....

Still can beat up on most supercars today....0-60 in 3.2 seconds, top speed 215 mph...600 HP, 540 ft/lp of torque....oh and this one here is for sale....

yeah, the 959s are freaking awesome. i walked around with a full-on porsche chubby when they were first introduced. they're collectors' items now. if you own one you turn into golem; oh my precious... the guy with the wrecked one must be suicidal.

 

"Oh, heck, that'll buff right out!"

 

Classic!
ROFL!

 

Or did himself in already. Considering he wrecked one of the what, 250 out there?

Hadn't noticed before, but somebody actually bid on this?! Wow.

 

apparently only 226 made (or so the canepa.com ad says..) - bet that is one fun pcar to drive.

 

It hurts to look at that.

 

From the picture, it looks like the VIN # was expoxied/glued in.

 

Tried to do a carfax to check it, but my subscription expired on the 19th. I'd be interested to see one.

 

Still one of my favorites.

 

That's the real deal! VIN# checks out...wow how much is this going to be worth in 20 years? If it's a sport which it kind of looks like, it's even more rare. The car seems pretty much in tact. Definitely seems fixable.

 

What a waste

 

As horrible as that makes me feel, part of me is heartened by the fact that at least it was saved, it can likely be fixed, and that if nothing else it wasn't burned nor forgotten. I have no experience with anything near that expensive, and as such I can not make any type of reasonable guess as to the cost of a restoration, however you have to figure that given the iconic nature and the rarity of that car, it is at least possible to expect a return on the investment many years down the road.

 

It was always garaged???
