Porsche 959 convertible

just saw this downtown indy. I know they were not made as a convertible so not sure if its a replica or an actual hacked off top. Thing sounds like a bonafied racecar. Hearing the exhaust boune betwen the buildings downtown was amazing. I heard in the past,it was owned by Tim Durham, a local guy who had a ponzi scheme going. He had many cars including a veryon. If it was his, I'm sure its real but the owner was no where around wen I found it parked after lunch...enjoy. also snuck in a few of my individual azurite black

Kind of seems like a replica at first glance to me. Then again I might b wrong. I'm not a Porsche expert by any means.

I love your 7s colors

Most likely a 911 with a body kit. I think it would be stupid to mess with an original 959

That is the first time I have seen the Azurite Black in the sunlight. Very, very nice color.

Yeah, I had no idea, I bought it on an overcast day. Both times I test drove it was at night. Never a fan of blue but its such a deep color, I am a huge fan. Nowhere in azurite black would I think blue
