Pablo escobar's 935

[cragswinter]

Just watching the documentary from the other night "my father pablo escabar" & low & behold there's a pic of him driving a 935!!
I'm sure it's not a dp copy as it's got the full wing vents & no driving lights (just the brake ducts)
it's got a full cage & is painted in martini colours bearing the sponser "ositto manizales"
anyone know this car or how the worlds biggest coke dealer got his hands on it?what a find that would be...............

He wont be driving it anymore what ever it is?

Great piece of info to find though,I'm always intrigued as to a cars history,can you imagine researching your own car & finding out it was owned by someone like him.

Watched it on 4OD just for the 935

Was expecting some kind of horrid roadgoing clone, only to see what looked to be a real 935, very closely resembling the 935/76 factory car

Yeah looks like he had a stable of race cars going by the thread posted above,did you see all the kids pedal cars as well?! noticed there was a shot of his son playing with a police 911,shirley some irony there

I think most of his collection was torched shortly after his death, when the locals looted his place in Puerto Triunfo.

A few burnt out shells still there in the 'museum/theme park'.

shame about the 356 and Merc....

[cragswinter]

Crazy,didn't realise he still owned the ranch up until his death,assumed it went when he built his own prison for himself to be locked up in!
Crazy man,crazy life,what a shame about those cars though

Someone tell me that isn't a burnt out 288 GTO on the link i posted above....

The front end looks beefier than a 328/308...

[cragswinter]

The front air dam would lead me to suggest that it is a 288
