Tupac Shakur’s Last Hummer H1 Needs a New Thug
If you want to go California Dreamin’ on the PCH this summer, then you better get your wallet ready for the RR auction taking place on May 19th!
Tupac Shakur’s personally owned and driven 1996 American Motors Hummer H1 is getting ready to go through the auction block and head to the garage of the highest bidder. Legal documents show that Tupac Shakur purchased this Hummer on August 16, 1996, which is a little less than 30 days before his violent death in Las Vegas, Nevada. Such tragic story actually brings more value to this vehicle, as it’s the last motor vehicle ever purchased by the iconic artist.
The fully loaded vehicle was customized by the late rapper and comes equipped with a 6.5 liter, turbo diesel V-8 engine with automatic transmission, with the odometer reading 10,101 miles. The hardtop body features 38″ Dick Cepek off-road lights, a 360-degree spotlight, a grille guard, diamond-plate bumpers, GC Package oversized off-road wheels and tires, and an external PA system with three sirens; area over rear driver side fender bears white lettering, “Eliminator.” The interior is trimmed in burl wood with beige leather upholstery, and provides a 12-disc Clarion sound system, Sony GPS, a central tire inflation system, air conditioning, rear sliding glass window, privacy glass, full power options, and a 12,000-pound winch.
Perhaps one of the coolest things about this Hummer is the fact that it comes with a promotional cassette tape for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” along with its original license plate which reads “YAKNPAK” and even a document signed by Tupac’s mother as she took legal possession of the vehicle after his death.
How much do you think this musical and off-road icon will bring to the table?
