Eminem’s First Car Was A 4th Gen Ford Mustang Convertible

Eminem today cannot be compared to his early years after his debut in the music industry in 1988. However, Dr. Dre gets the majority of credit for Eminem’s fame. After all, M&M was and remains the famous protege of Andre Romell Young. His debut album was Infinite in 1996 but the real cause of his mainstream fame was The Slim Shady LP in 1999.

Having said that, Marshall Bruce Mathers III or you can just call him Eminem now learned a lot from his Mentor. However, apart from music, he also inherited a passion for cars. Dr. Dre’s car collection is filled with Ferraris, Roll-Royaces, Cadillacs, and more. Meanwhile, Eminem’s car set has also seen an expansion after all his net worth is around $250 Million which is almost half of Dr. Dre’s net worth.

Besides that, Eminem now owns Aventador, Ford GT, and many other exquisite automobiles. However, even in his early music videos such as “Without Me” which also features Dr. Dre, he enjoyed cars like the Lamborghini Murcielago. However, Eminem’s first car was not some million-dollar supercar or a fancy limited-edition hypercar with a 6-figure price tag.

The first car that Eminem actually purchased was the Ford Mustang Convertible which was part of the fourth generation. His Mustang came in red but he later painted it purple and installed new chrome wheels. You can trace his liking for purple color back to The Slim Shady LP album cover which had the nearly same shade.

That said, Eminem’s car collection today, does not have possession of his old Mustang. He auctioned it off In 2002 with less than 20,000 miles on the odometer. In an eBay auction, it was sold for $27,900. So where is Eminem’s ex-Mustang Convertible?

Well, the latest reported owner of his former car was a 12-year-old girl named Courtney Wittenberg. His family bought the car for her from the same auction. The money received from the auction was donated to a charity. Meanwhile, we must remind you that Eminem did own a Mustang at some point in his life, he has never had possession of the Chevrolet Ciel Concept Convertible. Hence, don’t believe in those rumors.

We believe now that she is old enough to drive, she is enjoying the car of her favorite artist. The purple Mustang Convertible of Eminem had a 3.6L V6 engine which allowed it to run from 0 to 60 MPH in 8.4 seconds.

Currently, the 2024 Ford Mustang Convertible is the outgoing model that has started the 7th generation. The base price is is $41,945. If you are looking for the 2024 Ford Mustang Coupe then it is cheaper as it starts at $30,920.
