The night Tupac Shakur was fatally shot at a Las Vegas intersection, he was riding in a black BMW 750Li — and now, that car is up for sale. According to the Celebrity Cars Las Vegas website, the 1996 luxury vehicle is available for a cool $1.75 million.
“This is the actual car that Tupac Shakur was shot while riding in after a Fight at the MGM in Las Vegas,” the description reads. “It was driven by Suge Knight and originally leased by Death Row Records. This is the first time this car has ever been up for sale or on display since his death in 1996. It has been completely restored to the condition it was in before his death and has just received a new coat of paint.
“There is a small indentation where we believe one of the bullet holes was but it is hard to tell. Other than that it is fully restored. The photo of the bullet holes is just for reference. The wheels have been replaced with the same wheels that it had at the time of the shooting. It runs great and is in excellent condition.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
2Pac was shot on September 7, 1996 after leaving the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand. Knight, who was driving the car at the time of the shooting, and ‘Pac were rushed to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada where the Hip Hop luminary was quickly taken into surgery.
Despite doctors’ best efforts, the 25-year-old MC died six days later in the Intensive Care Unit. The official causes of death were noted as respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds. 2Pac’s murder remains unsolved.
Las Vegas Police impounded the car after the incident and eventually auctioned it off. It has since passed through several collectors. In 2017, it was up for auction at $1.5 million.
Several of 2Pac’s personal items went up for sale on the Gotta Have Rock and Roll Auctions website last November. One was a personal polaroid with annotations, while the other is a never-been-seen personal polaroid of ‘Pac and his entourage holding several guns, including handguns, submachine guns and what looks like an assault rifle.
Surely there is fucking nothing else left to sell.. For fuck sake.
They would sell his ashes if they found them
RIP
Not this again…why did they restore it and not leave the bullet holes, that’s what made the car worth something in the first place. i wonder where Pac’s SL is though.
These guys are utterly stupid. Who the fuck wants to ride a 1996 BMW were a legend literally bled to death in? Must be haunting as fuck and they should have left the car in a museum somewhere as it was. Shit would have been legendary. However, I guess Pac wasn’t as big as he is now even though he was the biggest guy in entertainment at the time of his death selling 6 million from All Eyez On Me.
Times change. Michael Jackson was bigger than Pac as far as popularity and sales went, but you really don’t hear much about the man since his death.
The difference is that MJ lost popularity because he liked little boys coming to his house and sleeping with him in his bed
Dumbest auction ever, Pac didn’t die in that car he died in a hospital plus he didn’t own it, it was rather a death row lease that’s been fully restored with no bullet holes….so you’re buying a 24 year old car that was ridden by a celebrity and involved in a gang shoot out … that’s basically the legacy you’re expected to pay 1.7 mil for smh
Driving up the block isn’t he car that they shot pac in, looking for BIG’s killers, dressing ridiculous, blue and red like I don’t see what the big deal is.
It should be in a museum…
lol, gotta love capitalism. Only in America. I’d drive it on Halloween in the same fit he got popped in.
French Montana should buy this….cause its used
