CMC 359 - a convertible replica of the racing 959. Looks un-molested. Glad it's not closer to me.
Somewhere there's a Catholic Nun with a ruler that should have wacked that designer's hand !
I saw this one in a local car show a year or two ago; I’ve seen worse.
While I'm not a big fan, compare to some kits I've seen this one looks like a work of art.
359 or 956 ?
Ummm , well I guess we know which car we are talking about
@Impala @Lane Anderson i'm with ya....obviously GAUDY...but iv'e seen worse...looks like a PCH cruiser to me
That one is very nicely done! Interior is especially nice and fits the model.
The 359 replica has a longer wheel base than the 356 replica - the pan is cut only 5" (not the 10-11" for the Speedster). That gives a huge engine compartment area. Many came with the hard tonneau (seen on the red car show one). These kits sold for $14k back in 1989-91 and only 210 (?) or so were made. Thunder Ranch also bought a couple and finished them as prototypes. There are 2 out there with 3.6L Porsche engines in them (Japan and NY) and one with a Mazda RX7 rotary engine.
The $895 CMC windup windows were an option for the 359 too! Shame they didn't make removable 911 style hard top of it (great project).
Not a lot of info out there but they are rare (and many think that's a good thing).

I agree; I dig the interior colors. I like that color combo in any car.

Now that is dead-on accurate. And FUNNY!
Raised by the nuns were you….?
Weren’t we all
I think there's a little Sister Mary Elephant in all of them.
Danny, I literally was raised by one… my mother was a nun …. she kicked the habit…
