The car Paul Pelosi drove during his DUI crash will be sold to the highest bidder on an online car auction website.
Copart.com lists the 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera S as part of an upcoming auction, but the site has not set a date for the event yet, according to TMZ. Prior to being heavily damaged in the collision, the retail value of the vehicle was listed as $168,576. But, there’s no telling how much the vehicle will fetch on the auction block.

Pelosi was involved in a May 28 collision with a Jeep on State Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road at 10:17 p.m., according to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office. Dashcam footage released after the crash showed Pelosi trying to avoid taking a breathalyzer test and opting for a field sobriety test instead. Pelosi didn’t do well with the sobriety tests, according to TMZ.
A blood sample taken later that evening was sent to the California Department of Justice for testing, and came back with a blood alcohol content of .082%, above California’s legal limit of .08%, according to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office.
