I later found out just how lucky I was to find it and how rare they are. For awhile they weren't even allowed in the US but now they have a way to get in. I heard this one was owned by Jerry Seinfeld but was unable to confirm. I don't know how many are currently in the US but now more than ever I appreciate the opportunity to get that picture.

I can't find the picture but I made a thread about it here once.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_959 - you're right, i didnt know they weren't legal in the US, one of them even spent 13 years in customs custody - lol.

what is not mentioned there - a regular service for a 959 is about $20k - once a year. so even if you got one you still need deep pockets ;)
