There was a 959 in germantech in largo - it was cool seeing it partially disassembled.

450-500 on a CIS engine? Hope he paid extra for the 7th injector and the imagine auto fuel head. New P & C's? Sounds like a fun - and expensive project.

The 959 had an Oregon plate on it.
They said it was a microsoft executives car. the black slantnose has dynoed 750 they also had a twin turbo diablo, and a bunch of other Ferrari's and lambos. The motor should be in this week and then the good stuff goes in. Ill dig up a list of all the motor internals and machining thats going on. This is interesting for me being that i was mostly experienced in jap/American car stuff. Porsche has always been my favorite, but damn sure is expensive. ill keep the pics coming.

Yes, expensive... The good part about it is that they last if rebuilt properly. Not uncommon to get 100,000 to 200K or more between rebuilds. Try that with your other exotics.

What year is it? Looks like and 86 or 87 and is it a euro?
