Michael Jordan's Famous S600 Is For Sale Again, This Time For $23

$23?

During this year's National Sports Collectors Convention, there's a unique opportunity for sports fans and car enthusiasts alike. An iconic 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser, once driven by none other than the legendary Michael Jordan during the peak of his NBA career, will be up for sale. The car, associated with the basketball icon's glory days, has garnered significant attention, and it will be available for purchase on the livestream shopping platform Whatnot. What makes this sale even more remarkable is the asking price—a mere $23.

Whatnot App

The auction process for Jordan's Mercedes will take place through Whatnot's smartphone app, where interested buyers can participate in the Whatnot Drop on the first day of the convention. From anywhere in the world, fans have a chance to enter the draw, but attendees at the convention will also have the added benefit of viewing the car in person. The lucky winner whose name gets drawn will be able to acquire this remarkable piece of sports history for the aforementioned $23.

S-Class Coupe

For the fortunate individual who wins the auction, owning Jordan's Mercedes comes with an array of compelling features. This W140 S-Klasse coupe, owned by Jordan and his then-wife Juanita from 1995 to 2003, boasts a sleek metallic dark blue finish and showcases custom exterior work by Lorinser, including a wide-body kit and chrome monobloc wheels. The car's interior holds a piece of basketball history with a unique car phone that displays Michael Jordan's name across the dashboard whenever it's activated. Under the hood, the powerful 6.0-liter V-12 engine promises an exhilarating driving experience.

Struggling To Sell

The question may arise: why is WhatNot selling this prized possession for such a remarkably low price? It turns out that the platform is offering a range of coveted sports memorabilia, including Jordan's car, for just $23 during this year's convention. The number 23, Michael Jordan's most famous jersey number, adds a fitting touch to the auction. Notably, previous attempts to sell the car have proven challenging, as reported by Autoevolution. The Beverly Hill Car Club, the previous owner, spent considerable effort over the last three years trying to find a suitable buyer.

Will It Sell This Time?

Despite previous struggles to sell the car, it seems that WhatNot is poised to overcome such hurdles with ease. The combination of a highly sought-after collectible and the symbolic $23 price tag is expected to attract a wave of enthusiastic bidders. As sports fans and car aficionados eagerly await the event, the prospect of owning a piece of Michael Jordan's history for such an accessible price has generated significant buzz and excitement within the sports community.
