Porsche wrecked by Paul Pelosi during DUI crash in California’s Napa Valley goes up for auction

The Porsche Paul Pelosi wrecked in his May drunk driving crash is now up for auction.

The silver 2021 Porsche Carrera 4S is listed on Copart.com, which provides an estimated retail value of nearly $170,000 and says the car only has 2,738 miles on it.

Copart.com, though, notes that the car has damage to its ‘side’ and ‘undercarriage,’ and appears to have a broken wheel axle, in which case it would likely be sold for parts.

A provided Carfax report shows it was in a ‘severe’ collision on May 28 — the same day Pelosi was arrested for drunk driving.

In the crash, the Carfax report says, the vehicle sustained ‘front or side impact’ damage, deployed its airbags and had to be towed.

Police photos and reports from the scene of Pelosi’s crash show identical damage to the vehicle as the one listed online, FOX News reports, and police reports indicated that Pelosi’s vehicle was removed from the scene by a tow truck when police took him into custody.

The House Speaker’s husband pleaded guilty on Tuesday to driving while under the influence in the Napa Valley crash.

The auction website tries to make the vehicle desirable to prospective buyers, noting it has jut 2,738 miles on it and the most recent mileage record from January 2021 showed it had just 18 miles on it before it was sold to its first owner.

But just a few months later, Pelosi pulled out in front of a Jeep at an intersection, resulting in a crash that sent both cars careening off the road at around 10.15pm near the intersection of Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road in Yountville, California.

According to the detailed California Highway Patrol report compiled by officer Jesus Perez, cops arrived to find Pelosi inside his battered silver Porsche Carrera 4S, smelling of alcohol.

Pelosi told cops that he had stopped ‘momentarily’ at a stop sign before spotting what he thought was a gap and ‘going for it’.

He described how his car had spun when hit by a white Jeep driven by Jesus Lopez, 48, of Calistoga, California, and how he had lost control.

A witness, whose name was redacted, said he saw Pelosi’s Porsche ‘suddenly accelerate’ into the path of the Jeep. The witness said the Porsche crossed ‘way too quickly.’ 

Perez said Pelosi was able to get out of the car unaided but appeared ‘unsteady’ on his feet when asked to walk a few steps to collect his insurance papers.

Cops then asked Pelosi whether he had been drinking and what he had last eaten, with the 82-year-old saying he had enjoyed a meal of pork chops and salad, followed by a dessert during dinner with friends living nearby. 

The name of the friend was redacted from the report but it has previously been revealed that it was Alexander Mehran, a longtime friend and donor to Democratic causes.

He also admitted to having drank a glass of champagne before eating and having another glass of wine with dinner. He refused to take a breath test at the site of the crash.

Pelosi was also asked for his license and handed it over with his ’11-99 Foundation card’ tucked underneath. The 11-99 Foundation provides emergency assistance to CHP employees and scholarships for their children.

Officer Perez noted he handed the card straight back to Pelosi but kept hold of his license.

Pelosi also told officers he takes ‘half a dozen’ types of medication, among them statins which lower cholesterol and uloric which is given to people suffering from gout.

According to Officer Perez, Pelosi had to hold his shoulder for the walk to his patrol car for sobriety tests where he ‘visibly swayed’ during a balance test and was forced to clutch on to the patrol car during a one-leg test.

‘Throughout my conversation with Pelosi, I observed the following objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication: both of his eyes were red/watery, his speech was slurred, he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person, and he failed to provide logical answers to multiple questions I asked,’ wrote Perez in his report. 

After failing the tests, Pelosi agreed to a blood test before being double handcuffed and taken to Napa County Jail where Perez left him seated on a bench in a briefing room with one hand cuffed to his seat.

 He was booked into jail at 12.32am on May 29, and a mugshot showing him shamefaced in a brown suit was taken shortly before he was released at 4.30am.

After having blood taken, Pelosi was transported to Queen of the Valley hospital for medical treatment before being brought back to the jail where he complained of wrist pain due to the cuffs.

He was then booked and released.

The reports show that cops initially thought that Lopez, the other driver, may also have been drunk, and he admitted having one Bud Light at a family funeral earlier in the day. But after he passed a field sobriety test, cops ruled that he was not.
