Porsche 959

[Samurai75007]

Ok I’m working on a model of A Porsche 959. I love this car, my uncle has one (the only convertible) but I don’t think Ill do well working on that yet. But I’m looking for 2 things. First what color to make it? Next some different rims for the car then what’s on it? If you all haven’t seen the car ill post a pic soon. Any help is always welcome.

Hey Samurai,

show us the car from your uncle.
I´m working on a 959 Convertible.

Regards, Bernd.

You didnt say what color your uncle's car is. Here's a pic of my model.
Maybe you can get an idea of what a red one looks like.

Im looking for the pics, and it is red... any idea of other rims for the model that will fit?

I cant figure it out I think the pic is under my gallery... its red

No offense, but I seriuosly doubt that's a real 959... Looks more like a glassfibre kitcar or a customized 911. Atleast I hope it isn't customized from an original 959.

Yeah, nice try. That's a 959 replica built onto a VW pan. The mold has been exchanged through a few different kit car manufacturers. Do a search for 959 kit car, or 959 VW, I'm sure something will turn up.

Like this, on the ever-so-reliable Geocities server so if it doesn't come up, try again later.

you can think what you might but I know what it is...

i think the german tuner "koenig" opened real 959s in the eighties but there might exist only a few!
But hey, until you post any pics no-one, including me, will believe you!

[Samurai75007]

I was only 5 when he got this so I dont have any...

[Orion37170]

of course!
your uncle had a car worth 100.000$ or something, one of twenty, or even less ever built and no one made any pics of it

what's your uncle's actual car? murcielago barchetta?

[Samurai75007]

There are only 20 in the US... And this is a pic of it... again the car was unrecognizable when he got it...

[Orion37170]

Sorry, but only ONE 959 was (officially) exported to the United States. And this one (red btw) has to stay in a museum cause the engine has higher emissions then the american laws allow

(sorry for my bad english, hope you understand what i mean)

and, hmm, sorry, but i cant see the pic
