    Need Help to find Photo or info on Early 911 1965 to 1969 owned by Paul Newman

    Hello! Need you guys help please!
    Im looking for information and pictures of an early 911 owned by Paul Newman (Actor)
    In 1970 in an interview with "Motor Trend", attached is the article mentioned from the book "WINNING". Paul Newman mentioned that "He had a Porsche 911". This means he had to have owned one between 1965 to 1969.
    In the rolodex of my car it shows L Paul Newman owned it, it also shows Siver Metallic color, the year of the 911 shows 1965, but maybe there could be other Paul Newman's in the world, this is why I need to find a photo or any info please, with Paul and a pre 1970 911, even better if is Silver color. I have found a few pictures and info but is from after 1970, I need from before 1970 please.
    If anyone has information on this or pictures please post here and if you can, email me at FerrCarerra@ymail.com
    Thank You!

    I grew up in Atlanta watching Paul Newman in his early racing days at Road Atlanta. The first car I remember was a MGB in D Production. He would squirrel away in His Winnebago untill race time and then I would see his car go out with our freinds D Production Alfa.

    Ahhh...a silver on red 911S.

    Daron . . .

    Drove a '911 S' at Sebring in '77 . . .

    Hi, thanks for sharing, I have also found information on Porsches owned by Paul Newman after 1970, but need help on finding info or pictures of Paul Newman's Porsche 911's that he own (before 1970). Like it states in the article attached that is from the Book (Winning) The Racing Life of Paul Newman!
    Thank You for any help!

    With rolodex you mean kardex, right?? Why not post it to see if there are any clues that could help? The address should be easy to check. As you maybe noticed there was recently another car for sale claimed to be owned by a celebrity, but it took the guys here less than five minutes to determine it could not have been him. I think your chances are better, Paulīs middle name was Leonard
