This original, two owner 959 is reported to have 7,500 original kilometers; it is a German delivery car that was originally owned by Max Moritz, a quite well-known Porsche driver and engineer who has his own line of branded parts designs. It was serviced regularly while in Germany at various Porsche dealerships and the 959 is accompanied by the owner’s manual which has these Porsche service stamps exhibited within. They range from Max Moritz in Reutlingen with 2,689-km in May 1988 to various Stuttgart Porsche dealerships and last displays a December 8, 1999 service with 6,852 kilometers at one of these Stuttgart locales.
1988 Porsche 959 Komfort’
With most sources citing only 292 examples of this supercar being built from May 1987 to May 1988; this 959 is reported as the 117th built. The Porsche 959 was built in two equipment levels; a comfort (‘Komfort’) version was offered alongside the sports version. The Komfort variant added a second electrically-adjustable outside mirror, electric windows, automatic climate control, full leather upholstery, power seats and central locking. Ride-height adjustment was only offered with the Komfort; this one also has an optional alarm system.
Along with the full set of original books; this exhilarating and rare Porsche 959 is joined by the tool roll, belt set and inflation pump, plus import and federalization paperwork. The Porsche has been most sparingly driven since its import and conversion; it has recently experienced a full service at an authorized Porsche dealership.

With a reputation as somewhat dark and menacing in nature, the Porsche 959 is capable beyond belief, and 25 years later, it is more than ready to show any modern pretender to its throne, exactly what it can do. A 959 is a rare sight in the United States, as they were never originally offered for sale here, and the availability of a properly imported and well-sorted example is all the more uncommon. More than merely break the mold, it utterly shattered it, and in so doing, it has secured a place in the history books as one of the most sought-after cars in the world. The car will be offered by Auctions America at its Santa Monica Collector Car Auction on Saturday, June 25, 2016, where is estimated to bring $1,300,000 – $1,600,000.
