A big car guy in more than one way, Shaquille O’Neal has decided to sell 10 of his custom cars from his extensive car collection.
In the past, he’s famously had supercars modified to accommodate his over seven-foot frame.
It’s thought that he’d forgotten that some of the stunning cars even existed.
The best part? We have one of them for sale over on SBX cars.

Shaquille O’Neal to sell 10 custom cars
In addition to owning so many supercars they could easily forgot one, sometimes owners like Shaq sell vehicles periodically for tax purposes or to make room for their new additions.
On The Big Podcast with Shaq, the host casually mentioned the sale, to the surprise of fans and listeners.
He admitted to forgetting he owned some of the cars, including multiple Dodge Hellcats.
Shaq also forgot he bought two Cadillac Escalade IQs, which he’d had customized by Effortless Motors.
When one was delivered, he initially denied purchasing it, thinking he wouldn’t fit inside.
Shaq recalled that he owns over 40 custom cars, though the actual figure might be even higher in reality.
When it comes to deciding which to take for a spin, it turns out he has a rather unorthodox system in place.
“I treat them like girlfriends. So, my police car girlfriend, I haven’t seen her in a while, so I’ll probably take her on a date tonight,” Shaquille O’Neal said on his podcast.
“When I’m leaving tomorrow for a week, so I’ll probably take my favorite girlfriend out tonight.”
The supercars for sale
Nine out of those 40 are Dodge Hellcats, some of which are part of the current sale – and we have his iconic 2022 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody for sale over on SBX Cars.
Built by Forbes Performance, the one-of-three ‘Shaqcat’ boasts a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 modified to produce 900HP and with a one-off set of Signature Performance wheels.
That’s not to mention its Smoke Show finish, custom red illumination, carbon fiber aero, and of course that Widebody stance
In addition, at least one of his Rolls-Royces is also being sold, although it probably isn’t his Superman-themed one.
Rather than a decision to downsize, Shaq continues to buy high-end vehicles regularly, like most people buy a packet of gum.
His current collection includes three Tesla Cybertrucks, a Ram TRX by Apocalypse, and other exotic cars.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
