Most of the mods are to make it road legal in the US as the 959 never was. Bill Gates bought one & ended up fighting to even get limited mileage permissions in the US as no type approval over there.
I'd hesitate to say having been modded it has no value outside the US as it is a true collectors car & mods will have devalued it.

Few years back Andy Mearns had a modified 959 at a show - 550bhp. Awesome car. Took my son for a short ride in it but I never got a go! Typical eh. Stuff Mearns - they all look like a 911 with a cheap kit on anyway!
