A rare and luxurious 1996 Mauck MSV 1120S Elite, once owned by the notorious Kanye West, is now up for auction on Cars & Bids. This unique vehicle, registered to Kanye’s Yeezy LLC from April 2023 to January 2024, represents a significant piece of automotive and celebrity history.
The Mauck MSV, or Mauck Special Vehicle, is an over-the-top luxury RV hand-built between 1996 and 1999, with only 100 examples ever made. This specific MSV, the second to roll off the production line, features a distinctive blacked-out exterior and a pair of dihedral doors at the front, making it a standout on the road.
Under the hood, this RV boasts a 6.3-liter GM-sourced V-8 engine, an upgrade from the standard 5.7-liter eight-cylinder engine. It also includes a Cummins Onan 2.8kW gasoline power generator, tandem rear axle, and air suspension, ensuring a powerful and smooth ride. Additional modifications include tinted windows and 16-inch Mickey Thompson wheels.
The interior of the MSV is as extraordinary as its exterior. The spacious cabin, adorned in grey and black leather, includes a U-shaped rear bench that seats six, a refrigerator, and a sink. Custom features such as LED lights, an Orion speaker system, and a roof-mounted entertainment setup with a fold-up 17-inch display further enhance its luxurious feel.
Despite its nearly 30-year age and almost 60,000 miles on the odometer, the MSV remains a significant vehicle. However, it does exhibit some signs of wear and tear. The seller notes exterior chips and scratches, faded headlights, and underbody rust. Inside, the front air conditioner no longer functions, and the power windows are inoperable. These issues are fixable, as suggested by the seller.
The auction for Kanye West’s former RV concludes on Wednesday, August 7. With less than 24 hours remaining, the bidding has reached $10,000—approximately five percent of its original cost. This auction presents a unique opportunity for automotive enthusiasts and Kanye West fans to own a piece of history.
