TMZ is reporting that the car which has been refurbished to its original condition has an asking price of $1.7m.


Potential buyers can view the car at Celebrity Cars Las Vegas showroom and, coincidentally, according to TMZ, the location of the showroom isn’t far from where the 1996 shooting took place.


Back in 2017, this vehicle was up for auction with an asking price of $1.5 million. In early 2020, the asking price went up to $1.7m.


It is unclear if the vehicle has had multiple owners since that time or no buyers.


The legendary musician was sitting in the passenger seat when he fell victim to a drive-by shooting.


He was in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, with label boss, Surge Knight to watch a Mike Tyson fight.


Reports chronicling details about his death suggested they were stopped at a red light after the bout when suspects in a white Cadillac opened fire on them.


Shakur was hit multiple times, including one bullet that struck him in his lung.


Six days later, news filtered in that the rap legend had passed away.
