The story of the Porsche race cars associated with John Paul Senior and Junior, otherwise known as JLP Racing, holds about as many twists and turns as the road courses the younger member of the drug dealing duo racked up major wins on throughout his career. John Paul the father has been in hiding for years, following numerous stints in jail for drug dealing and attempted murder, among other crimes, and his race cars that began life as 911s and were converted to the Kremer 935-spec bodies were all eventually seized by federal authorities. Today, they still pop up for sale on occasion, and the seller of this 1975 911 has documentation proving this example belong to JLP Racing. Find it here on eBay where bidding is at $30,500 with the reserve unmet.

The Kremer 935s were famous for their massive proportions, all done in the name of outstanding aerodynamic and additional downforce for staying glued to whatever track they were on. Given the success that John Paul Sr. had in his stock market days, he had the scratch to not only fund a racing team, but also convert his cars to the Kremer specifications. What was truly impressive (and perhaps the saddest part of the whole, sordid tale) is that John Paul Jr. was an immensely talented driver, eventually being crowned IMSA champion in 1982, the youngest driver ever to record such a feat. His old man was no slouch either, winning the 1978 FIA World Challenge and pairing with Brian Redman and Dick Barbour at Le Mans.

The pair was eventually arrested for smuggling marijuana, and moved on from those charges to continue their racing career. Paul Sr. would eventually flee to Switzerland while his son continued his racing career, which had to make for some odd watercooler conversation in the paddock. What’s incredible about the whole thing is that the dad seemed addicted to trouble, with speculation running rampant that he had a role in his second wife’s mysterious disappearance after she boarded a flight and was never seen again. History would repeat itself with a third wife also disappearing on a round-the-world sailing trip. See a pattern? Speaking of patterns, if this was an original track car, the seats were clearly replaced.

Over the years, different JLP cars have turned up for sale, from genuine track cars still wearing their period livery to examples like these, looking like track cars converted to road use. The seller reports the 911 was purchased by a physician in Georgia from the government seizures auction, and then it went to a second Georgia resident before being purchased by the current seller. The description reports that the 911 is in good order and runs well, with no catalytic convertors present. The seller cannot document whether it was used on the track by JLP, but does have documents proving ownership by the nefarious racing team. Did any of you see JLP race back in the day?
