"Restoration of Rare Porsche 959 Limo Owned by Benihana Founder Underway"

John Ficarra has acquired Rocky Aoki's Porsche 959 limo, originally built for the Car and Driver One Lap of America, and is planning to restore it. The car, a stretched 911 Targa with a 959-aping body kit and custom white leather interior, was built for the 1991 event and ran in a Kirin Beer livery. Ficarra aims to bring the car back to its former glory with turbocharged power, reinforced chassis, and the original livery and interior. This unique piece of Porsche history deserves to be preserved and driven, and Ficarra is determined to make it happen.

"The Ultimate Canadian Car You've Never Seen Before"

In the early 1960s, Canadian racer David Greenblatt built the radical 400-horsepower, 1600-pound Dailu Mk I, a curvy, lightweight aluminum-bodied car with a big American engine, known for its unruly and fast behavior. Despite its initial success, the car suffered damage in a race and was sidelined for 15 years before being restored and raced again in the late 1970s. Eventually, it was converted into a street-legal car and now roams the streets of Quebec.

The company allegedly used the money for personal expenses instead of working on the vehicle. Weinberg is seeking $375,000 in damages.
