I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a short glance, and it didn't sink in how rare that car is until minutes later. Too bad it seems to be a fake according to some.

Multiple giveaways including the aforementioned mirror shape issue (though the CHMSL is probably not a giveaway, as the 959 was indeed federalized). The comment about these cars not being driven on wet pavement...you should try and track down an article (it may have been in an issue of C&D or SCI back in the late 80s) that details a ride in a 959 with Danny Sullivan at the wheel going 150 in a blizzard.
