Fans who wish they could walk a mile in Eminem's shoes once again will have a chance to cruise a mile in his car. In the summer of 1999, Eminem traded in his old ride to Russ Milne Ford in Macomb, Michigan for a red hot new 1999 Ford Mustang. The mustang was Eminem's first automobile purchased after the release of his first album. Eminem rolled into a Malcolm County mustang dealership in a beat-up old car and drove out in a rental while his royalty check cleared said Russ Milne of Russ Mile Ford in Malcolm County Michigan said Ron Batko, dealership manager.
Marshal Mathers (Eminem) then transformed his new 1999 mustang from its original red with tan leather interior to a hot purple eye popper inclusive of a hot new set of chrome wheels for the "Purple Pills" video, which later was renamed to "Purple Hills".
In his video for "Without Me," Eminem labels himself the "worst thing since Elvis Presley." Ron Batko, insisted that the purple Mustang will someday be an important piece of music history and boldly declared, "Eminem will be the next Elvis."
In 2003 the perfect 1999 condition Ford Mustang found a new home in Courtney Wittenberns' garage however she had to wait until 2006 when she'll actually be old enough to drive it.
As heiress to a multimillion-dollar health club empire started by her father, Courtney had little problem finding the money for the car. Responsible for worldwide branches of Lady of America, Ladies Workout Express the Wittenberns family saw the purchase of this car as a chance to not only own a piece of music history, but also to make a charitable contribution in their name.
The purchase triggered media from around the world Courtney heard about the auction while listening to Miami radio station Y100, her father recalled, and knew she just had to own one of her favorite celeb's cars. Wittenberns won the bid on eBay and kept this car in mint condition. Today Courtney still retains the great memories. All you have to do to follow the car's history is type in Courtney Wittenberns name on Google and there you have it, in seven different languages across the world!
Courtney's father expressed similar excitement at his daughter's ownership of a piece of music history. "I think Eminem's great," said Roger, whose favorite Eminem song is "Without Me." "Especially in the last couple of albums he's made himself a little bit more kid-friendly," he continued. "I thought that was really important."
We will miss the car from the collection but Courtney has her eye on another car. The Wittenberns family would not disclose Courtney's next car however we can only imagine it's got to be something to beat Eminem's ride!!
The car is being offered at a starting bid of $27,000. This car includes full papers. More articles can be seen on GOOGLE by click here Courtney Wittenberns.
The car is in excellent condition except for a blemish on the front bumper. Legend has it that it occured when Eminem pinned his wife between the car and a wall during a domestic altercation. It was originally sold to Mr. Wittenberns with the blemish and he was told of the story at that time.

Awful purple paint and chrome rims make a 99 GT worth $27,000? (I couldn't give a crap about that 2nd rate, so-called musician that owned it.)

Damn, by that yardstick my 2002 must be worth at least $50,000. Tell ya what, anyone offers me half of that and it's theirs!

Heyyyyyy!! I like the purple!! Not crazy about the white top and wheels though



Posted by: Barker02GT

Yea the wheels are way ugly imo. Not crazy about the white top and purple car either. Basically the whole setup is awful, lol. And have to agree with langod about the 2nd rate so called musician part. Who cares?!

I live not to far from him and as I remember that car was bought for a family member and not Eminem himself.

What that hell kinda guy had a multi million dollar home, and a frickin pea shooter for a Mustang.

Not to bad of a color, but not the right color for a guy. Wheels and white top are horrible!
