last ride tupac shakurs death car is for sale right now

In case you’re a particularly macabre automotive collector, Tupac Shakur’s murder car is currently available for purchase. California’s chotchkie dealer, Moments in Time, is listing Death Row co-founder Suge Knight’s black 1996 BMW 750iL on its website for a cool $1.5 million. That’s roughly $1.49 million over the estimated private party value of an E38 Bimmer — and I even gave Moments in Time enough credit to assume it was in extremely good condition.

Apparently, one of the best things you can do for the resale value of your car is to make sure that a celebrity was killed inside of it. However, Shakur technically died several days later as a result of injuries sustained in the September 7, 1996 Last Vegas drive-by shooting. Perhaps you can use that information to haggle down the price.

Listed next to the script for Donald Trump’s famous stuffed crust pizza ad, the website offers only Craigslist-level photography, a guarantee of authenticity, and proof of vehicle’s identification number.

The 750iL is restored and still still has bullet marks visible inside the door panels. With only 92,000 miles on the odometer and a clean looking exterior, this would make a great daily driver for someone interested in a pristine E38. I have also no doubt that this model will be a future classic someday.

Knight’s BMW has changed hands several times since being impounded by the Vegas police department and initially auctioned off, with Moments in Time being the most recent owner. While the price does seem steep, CNN reported that Shakur’s personally customized Hummer went for $337,114 last May. There is definitely a market for things like this, all thanks to the deep-pockets-and-no-taste crowd.

I'm thinking it's time for yet another revival of "Topper." Topper, a wealthy bank president, is trapped in a boring job. Worse still, his social-climbing wife, Clara, seems to care only about nagging him and presenting a respectable façade. On a whim, after Tupac dies, Topper buys Tupac’s flashy BMW. Soon he meets the ghost of Tupac Shakur, and immediately Tupac begins to liven up his dull life with drinking and dancing, flirting and fun.

SPPPP It seems like a really nice car that's just still trying to find its customer.
MRF 95 T-Bird I owned an 87 Thunderbird aka the second generation aero bird. It was a fine driving comfortable and very reliable car. Quite underrated compared to the GM G-body mid sized coupes since unlike them they had rack and pinion steering and struts on all four wheels plus fuel injection which GM was a bit late to the game on their mid and full sized cars. When I sold it I considered a Mark VII LSC which like many had its trouble prone air suspension deleted and replaced with coils and struts. Instead I went for a MN-12 Thunderbird.
SCE to AUX Somebody got the bill of material mixed up and never caught it.Maybe the stud was for a different version (like the 4xe) which might use a different fuel tank.
Inside Looking Out Scandinavian design costs only $600? I mean the furniture.
Akear Lets be honest, Lucid will not be around in five years. It does not matter that it is probably the world's best EV sedan. Lucid's manufacturing and marketing is a complete mess. The truth is most EV companies are going under within the decade.
