Nas Finally Lands His Dream Car, "The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E " (Details, pics)

Nas is living the dream. The American rapper finally lands the car he dreamed about when he was a kid.

Will spent under $5,000 to buy the beater and his team spent another 8 weeks customizing it with, shall we say, Unique touches -- a custom rag-top, leather piped interior seats, custom Nas wheels and a sick sound system. It is unclear what the car is worth now but it's gotta be a lot of money considering the time and energy they put in.

The legendary rapper hit up Will Castro of "Unique Rides" in New York City and challenged him to find a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E and turn it into a masterpiece.

So, why does this car mean so much to Nas? It was gathered that this Benz personified everything it meant to be rich... In car, culture, style, life and spirit.

Congratulations to Nasir Jones. Mission accomplished.
