After initially being bought by current Indycar boss Roger Penske, the car came into the hands of former Formula 1 world champion, Emerson Fittipaldi.

In its long list of owners also appears Pablo Escobar, who found use for it in Colombia. The drug lord was a big fan of cars and a racer himself.

In the end, Escobar would trade in the Porsche 911 for a 935 in Martini colours.
