It's not Paul Newman's 935 it was Dick Barbour's. Paul drove three or four 935 his entire racing career all of which belonged to Barbour and this one, 009 00030, made up for two of those drives.

Love Paul Newman, who doesn't? Guy was an incredible human being across the board but the auction house marketed this as "Paul Newman's" 935 and it was not. Paul was a Datsun/Nissan man.
