Collectors often pay more than you would expect for certain items, including cars. However, for an object to be worth a significant amount of money, it would have to be rare and documented.

Fortunately for a seller from Vancouver that turned to Boston-based RR Auction, a 1996 American Motors Hummer was the real deal.

We are not talking about fake Hummers here, but about a vehicle that was first owned by rap legend Tupac Amaru Shakur. Yes, the one and only 2Pac owned this Hummer back in 1996.

You do not have to be a Tupac fan to know that the artist was tragically gunned down in that same year, and the murderer was never found.

Some conspiracy theorists claim that Tupac is still alive, but we do not believe this statement to be true, and neither do collectors of 2Pac Shakur memorabilia.

So, this 1996 American Motors Hummer, a model that preceded the Hummer H1, was the last vehicle ever purchased by the late Tupac Shakur.

According to the dates on the title and the moment of his untimely death, the rapper only owned this car for about a month. In that period, this car was also customized according to the wishes of “America's Most Wanted.”

If you ask us, this is probably what made this vehicle worth more than just a regular Hummer that was owned by Tupac. After all, many artists have cars that are entirely stock, and that only differentiate themselves in the parking lot by the color choice and the license plate. Some say that Tupac's car was worth more than any other not just because it was the last vehicle purchased by the star.

Instead, we think it sold for $337,144 at RR Auction because it was customized to Tupac Amaru Shakur's wishes. You can't buy that anywhere else, and anything else would just be a replica, and not the real deal.
