Shaquille O’Neal Sells Luxury Bus, Billionaire Buyer Doesn’t Mind It Has His Face All Over

Shaquille O'Neal sold his luxury tour bus
Shaquille O’Neal is on a selling spree just as much as he is on a shopping spree. He has been trying to get rid of some of his cars since the beginning of the year because he has to make room for the new ones that he lays his eyes on. He sold his custom Dodge Charger, one of his three Tesla Cybertrucks, and now, decided that he no longer needed his luxury tour bus.

Shaq’s tour bus is actually a 2008 Freightliner Columbia RV conversion, complete with a DJ station, a gaming console, vinyl wrap all over, and a massive 12.8-liter inline-six engine, mated with a 12-speed automatic transmission.

The basketball legend used the custom-made touring truck to travel across the US. The model sports a wrap that displays O’Neal’s face all over, but that did not seem to bother the billionaire car collector who has just purchased it.

The vehicle rides on 22.5-inch polished wheels with Hercules tires, while air-actuated brakes provide the stopping power. Shaquille O'Neal sold his luxury tour bus The luxury tour bus is powered by a massive Mercedes-Benz OM460LA 12.8-liter turborcharged engine, running on what else but diesel, the fuel that inspired Shaq’s nickname, with reference to his behavior on court.Customized by Celebrity Trailers of Atlanta, Georgia, to fit the Big Man’s 7’1″ frame, it has an 8-foot ceiling height. It includes a lounge with sofas, a dining table, a DJ station with a Pioneer controller, a galley, a bedroom positioned at the rear, with a bed in white leather, and a bathroom.

Two flat-screen TVs, one located above the kitchen counter, an arcade-style gaming console, and a Furrion LED simulated fireplace are also on board and made the basketball icon happy at some point. Shaquille O'Neal sold his luxury tour bus Shaquille went for gloss-finish wood grain floors, color-adjustable ambient lighting, ducted climate control, and privacy shades that kept the looks of the curious at bay. A black-leather sofa and a bench trimmed in red leather provide the relaxation space.Shaquille O’Neal traveled 73,000 miles in it. He first auctioned it off on Bring a Trailer, but the luxury bus failed to meet the reserve, as the highest bid stopped at $63,500.

Soon after the failure, Shaquille O’Neal trusted Effortless Motors to handle the sale. They are the firm that delivers, customizes, and now sells most of their cars.

He recently sold his customized Dodge Charger Hellcat with their help to a 15-year-old kid who did not yet have a driver’s license and who paid with crypto.

Shaq also got rid of one of his three Tesla Cybertrucks. The maroon-wrapped model went to young basketball player Trendon Wartford from the Brooklyn Nets.

The Carfax report reveals an accident in 2017 and minor damage, but also a crash in 2022, which caused “functional damage” on the Freightliner Cascadia.
