From the comments it seems there were two CTS-V 6MT wagons in Airdrie. Surprising.

I know of one not far from there in Olds. It’s also a Hennessy 650 edition. Gentlemen that owns it is a very good friend of our family.

Wow.  I mean, whatever it brings in, a car like that deserves it.

I always liked the F40 more back in the day despite not really caring for Ferraris in general besides the 288 GTO. I bet the 959 is a better car though.

I recall reading all I could about the 959 when it debuted and being amazed.

I remember seeing a 959 pootling around in my village in the UK, same with an RS200, the owner would take it to the supermarket to get groceries.

Personally I much prefer the F40.

Such ridiculous pricing. That's more than I paid for mine new.

Not after inflation!

It's a rare, classic, desirable car at this point. Its price when new has no bearing on its value today.

Fair point, but personally I don't consider it a 'classic', in the 'great' sense of the word.

To reiterate what I said about the MR2, there are currently 10 on Pistonheads, ranging from £1.5K to £8.5K ($2.6K to $14.7K CAD), that's why (however good it is) I think $34K is overpriced. Yes I shouldn't compare here to the UK, but still...

Personally I'd love one as a track car, I really liked mine.

Wasn’t the Ruff Yellow Porsche 911 the better and faster car?

I tried to buy this exact car back in 2017 but the sales guy ended up buying it. It's the only RWD Valencia orange manual 335i in the country.

Calgary car, huh? …  :-\

Colour wouldn’t be my first choice, but I don’t hate it. Important part is manual and RWD. Hard to believe that doesn’t even exist anymore.  :'(

Yes, but no.

The Ruff CTR Yellow Bird was a tuner car. The 959 a factory car.

The 959 was still quicker to 100 mph than the CTR.

And I think the 959 is far more special.

I'd prefer Laguna Seca Blue. There's two Canadian RWD manuals in that colour.

Now that would be way cooler than a new Mach E...too bad someone threw-up all over the interior.  And what happened to that Mazda!?  Did one of those funky looking undersea fishes take a dump on it, too?  :-X  Talk about a step backwards from good looking.  :shake:
