The BMW car in which Tupac Shakur was traveling before being shot in 1996 is now being sold for nearly $2 million.
The famous rapper was in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, with Suge Knight and their entourage to watch a Mike Tyson fight. However, after they were stopped at a red light following the bout, suspects in a white vehicle opened fire. Shakur was hit four times, including one bullet that struck him in his lung. Six days later, Tupac passed away.
The car, which has been restored to its original condition, now has an asking price of $1.7 million. Potential buyers can view the car at Celebrity Cars Las Vegas showroom, and coincidentally, TMZ reported that it isn’t far from where the 1996 shooting took place.
In 2017, this vehicle was put up for auction with an asking price of $1.5 million. In early 2020, the asking price went up to $1.7 million. It is unclear if the vehicle has had multiple owners since that time or no buyers.
Every year, there is seemingly a new Tupac-centered item that goes up for auction. The rapper’s poetry, jailhouse letters, and unseen photos have been purchased for tens of thousands of dollars in the past.
