Offered up by Beverly Hills Car Club with a starting bid of $23 USD, the car will be reportedly sold with the original Michael Jordan-signed title while the vintage car phone also still retaining Jordan’s name when powering on. The famed athlete’s luxurious car collection was featured on the Netflix doco-series, including the Mercedes-Benz in question which features a metallic navy finish, custom rings, body kit and a power boost of almost 400 horsepower. Long story, short, Alex Manos of the Beverly Hills Car Club describes the car as “the Holy Grail of Michael Jordan memorabilia.”
