Apparently the one "authorized" 959 was imported by/for collector Otis Chandler. It got in because it was a race car. There were others, among them Seinfeld's, and two belonging to Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Gates and Allen cares supposedly were eventually freed from impound by the display regulation.
Google on "bill gates porsche 959" for some conflicting and confusing info.
The big problem with them wasn't necessarily lack of smog eqpt. Porsche didn't want to destroy 4 of them certifying the car for US crash regulations.
