here you go....
you might have to look around the shop to compare sizes that suit your needs.

The 956 is a le mans car Dan. Trey, I think the closest you'll find are these two from FG...
Neither are 956s, but one is a Porsche le mans car from the wrong era, and the other is a Mercedes le mans car from the right era. Both are from FG.

I get the impression from the question (1/4 OR 1/5), that the car is going to be built round the chosen body. 
You're right though, it needs a slightly wider chassis 410mm.

Not trying to hijack a post , but since someone has already asked then here I go !
Looking for this body guys. I was told by one company ( RC-car-online.de ) that the body doesnt exist. And again I find another person selling one. Can anybody here point me in a direction to where I might be able to find one?????
This is the description of the body : Karosse Karo VW Passat V8 FG Carson C5

Thanks thorsten, I already have my eye on that one. More than likely I will pick that one up, but thought maybe someone here knows where I could probably get one un-painted ! Again thanks !

it's a shame, i have bought this passat to a guy who had 10 of this but it seems today his had only porsche Carrera GT ... (i paid 30€ for a unpainted one!)
hope you will find
for the 956 you can see on [link=http://eightman.free.fr/galerie/galerie_carro_1-4.htm]my list[/link] that the 956 was made by DWA in 1/4th scale... but today it's rather hard to find...
