959 convertible?

[wee man]

can anyone tell me if there is a 959 convertible.I recently stumble across a pic of what looks like a 959 but convertible?i think it could be a replica maybe. thanks

[P.I.M.P]

you probably mistaked it for a 993 convertible.

A 959 is very destinctive though, it looks like a brick. Probably a replica. Although if Porsche made it, it was most certainly a one off or something.

[wee man]

no its really a959 not a 993 look

It's a body kit.

[wee man]

that cant be a body kit it looks like the "911 Cabriolet" style.It must be a one of built for some rich snob!

[LateNightCable]

It's a 911 Cabriolet alright, but one with a body kit. If you look at the details compared to those of a real 959, the difference is quite marked.

Not from the factory but I believe that Ruff did make two 959 convertables.

There was a white 959 convertible. The owner crashed his 959 Coupe on the german autobahn and it was his wish to reconstruct it as a convertible. Porsche said no, that's impossible an so a german Porsche Dealer did this job.

That's the only one 959 Convertible that exists.

The dealer was Auto Becker in Duesseldorf - Germany. Does anybody know something about the actuell place of this white 959 convertible? Auto Becker closed since a few years.
