A 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe modified by Lorinser and formerly owned by Michael Jordan is currently up for sale through Beverly Hills Car Club.
The basketball legend owned the car while he was playing with the Chicago Bulls and it was originally titled in both his name and the name of his then-wife Juanita.
Powering the Mercedes-Benz S600 of the day was a naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12 with 389 hp and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque, and while the listing says Jordan’s car has been modified by Lorinser, it only makes mention of the Lorinser chrome wheels. Regardless, the car looks to have been well maintained and has 157,085 miles (252,803 km) on the odometer.
“Mr. Jordan was a magically gifted basketball player who, when you watched him, took your breath away,” Beverly Hills Car Club owner Alex Manos describes in the eBay listing. “Michael Jordan’s S600 Lorinser is such an elegant vehicle that driving it will get you in touch with your inner Michael Jordan, stepping into his world and feeling his energy and power. I am flattered to have acquired such a historically relevant car with ultimate celebrity provenance. Michael Jordan’s Mercedes is an incredibly exciting vehicle to be connected with.
“Some people have signed basketballs or sneakers or photographs of the basketball giant. But how many people do you know who own Michael Jordan’s car? This is the Holy Grail of Michael Jordan memorabilia.”
One particularly cool thing about the car is that when you power up the built-in phone, Jordan’s name pops up on the small dashboard screen…
