A new 959 thread... here's my standard contribution. That's me in 1986 with some 959s fresh on US shores.

Been lucky enough to see 2 959s in my life. Here's one of them.

Oh wow, that car looks gorgeous in that color! I'm sure the lights are enhancing it though.

Found the other one I saw. It was in the Herb Chambers Porsche of Boston store for a while. I heard Herb sold it though.

The 959 turned the automotive world on its ear when it was introduced.

Are these cars street legal? I thought the only way they could be imported was "show only" status.

Probably the most famous 959 is one imported into the US in 1987 by Microsoft's Bill Gates. The so called "Gates 959" was stored for 13 years by US Customs at the Port of Seattle until the "Show and Display" law was passed. I know they are limited on miles, but I forgot how many miles I want to say like 2500 or 5000 miles per year.
