Carlsen Porsche/Audi/VW in Palo Alto, CA. had a real 959 in the show room
once for display (not for sale -- it was owned by someone).  This was
last year soon before the Monterey Historics (featuring Porsche).  I
couldn't believe it even as I saw it with my own eyes, but it was
quite real.  In the showroom were a bunch of other Porsche race cars,
including the famous Sunono 917/30, a 935, and a vintage 356 racer.
