Please support our sponsors: How Will Adam Carolla Pay For The $4.8MM 935 He Bought at Auction Last Month? By now, most of you know that comedian, and CarCast podcast co-host, Adam Carolla was the winning bidder of Paul Newman's Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 last month in Monterey. It's a
beautiful and historically important piece of Porsche history that took a class victory at Le Mans in 1979 (2nd overall) and went on to win the Daytona 24 Hour race in 1981 and the Sebring 12 Hour race in 1983. Adding to its already incredible provenance is the fact that this particular 935 was at one time known as the infamous "Apple Car" and that the few wins mentioned above are but a small part of its considerable history. Combine all that with its impeccable condition and it's easy to
understand how it sold for $4,840,000. Now he has to pay for it. Here's how he plans on doing so! OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY

sponsors: Our Favorite Porsches on eBay: Volume 70 We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for over two years now, and we've seen some pretty
astonishing cars pop up now and again. We recently started publishing our picks once a week instead of our prior bi-weekly schedule, in an effort to bring you more exciting Porsche auction action. Check back often for different cars! This week we have a good diversity of selections. A newer C4S Cabriolet that we've been watching, a Targa C4S that surprises us with how well the color combo works, a Safari donor SC, a "hulking" race car and 914 Bumblebee that looks incredible but desperately calls
for a PPI. Keep in mind, some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
