The Hummer H1 was the last vehicle Shakur would purchase in his lifetime on August 16, 1996, a little less than a month before his death. The fully loaded model was customised by the late rapper with modifications like off-road lights, a 360-degree spotlight, grille guard, diamond-plat bumpers, off-road wheels and tires, and more. it's powered by a 6.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 engine and has just 10,101 miles on the odometer.
According to Boston-based RR Auction, the winning bid came from a businessman in Baltimore who wishes to remain anonymous. "It's an incredible piece of hip-hop history, and we are thrilled to have played a role in helping to find its new home," said Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at RR Auction. "Accompanied by incredible provenance and purchased a month before his death, the vehicle will no doubt only continue to go up in value."
