The cars that Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. were shot and killed in are now up for sale by a collector.

The legendary hip-hop artists were both murdered in drive-by shootings: Tupac was killed in Las Vegas in September 1996, while Biggie was slain 21 years ago.

Moments in Time founder Gary Zimet is now selling the two cars involved in the incidents.

Zimet is known for selling "original historical materials" and now these vehicles are up for auction.

While he isn't the direct owner of the cars, he is selling them on behalf of the families who own them.

The GMC Suburban SUV Biggie was killed in can be purchased for £541,000 ($750,000), while the BMW 7 Series Tupac was shot in can be bought for £1.3m ($1.5m).

In an interview with Pitchfork, Zimet explained that the BMW has been restored saying "unfortunately, all the bullet holes were done over and you can hardly tell it was a car used in a murder."

But the car Biggie was killed in only had its doors changed, so a bullet hole from the shooting can still be seen in one of the seatbelts.

"I know museums would love to have it, as they are currently building a hip-hop museum in New York City,” Zimet said with regards to the vehicles. “Unfortunately, museums are perpetually broke. But look, eventually it will sell, no question. It’s just about finding the right buyer."

He added, "You really have to look at this from a historical angle. If the car JFK got killed in ever went up for sale— and, unfortunately, it never will —it would bring in a minimum of $25m."

Despite the fact that he's selling the automobiles, Zimet still maintains they hold "historical significance."
