The car that rapper Tupac Shakur was in when he was murdered has been put up for sale. The engine of the 1996 BMW 7 Series has been carefully restored and the bodywork, repainted, no longer bears any trace of the impact of the bullets, resulting from the four shots that were fired. However “there is a small brand that we believe to be an impact but it is difficult to say,” says the dealer. on his website. The hip-hop star was shot there in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. She died at the age of 25, six days after the attack.
Celebrity Cars Las Vegas delivers the vehicle with a certificate of authenticity showing that it was originally rented by Death Row Records, the label founded by Suge Knight and producer Dr. Dre. Its identification number also corresponds to that indicated on the original rental documents.
Sold by police auction
After Tupac’s murder, Las Vegas police allegedly sold the BMW at auction, then passed it on to several collectors. Representatives of the current owners request a refundable deposit of $ 20,000 from any interested buyer.
On the day of his death, Tupac was in this car with Suge Knight, who was driving, on his way from a boxing match for Mike Tyson to a party at Club 662 when a white Cadillac stopped next to the two men at a red light. Tupac, who was in the passenger seat, was hit by four bullets, one of which punctured his lungs. His murder has never been solved.
