2023 Lucid Air Coupe Opens Soon for Bidding at AutoBidMaster 

Some vehicles are rare. This one is truly unique.

Lucid Motors produces the Air exclusively as a four-door luxury sedan. There has never been a factory-built coupe version of the Lucid Air. Yet a single two-door Lucid Air was created through a custom build commissioned by Shaquille O’Neal and crafted by West Coast Customs. Now, this one-of-a-kind vehicle has arrived at Copart in Colton, California.

Lot 60840696 is opening soon for bidding through AutoBidMaster, a licensed Copart broker, with door-to-door vehicle delivery options and paperwork support throughout the purchase process.

Key Takeaways

• This Lucid Air Coupe represents a build unlike anything Lucid has offered from the factory.
• The odometer shows just 2,898 miles, averaging roughly 160 miles per month throughout the vehicle’s history.
• Copart lists the estimated retail value at $59,990, compared with the Lucid Air’s base starting price of $77,400 before any custom fabrication work.
• The reported damage is limited to the front end, while the custom door conversion and B-pillar modifications appear to remain intact.
• The vehicle features Lucid’s dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, producing approximately 480 horsepower and 686 lb-ft of torque.

How This Lucid Air Became a Coupe

At 7 feet 1 inch, Shaquille O’Neal has a long history of working with builders to create vehicles tailored to his height. In 2024, he brought a Lucid Air to West Coast Customs with an ambitious request: transform the four-door sedan into a two-door coupe.

The project required extensive custom fabrication. The team relocated the B-pillars, created extended front doors, and re-engineered the hinges and glass to support a door opening that had never existed on the platform. The front seat tracks were repositioned deeper into the cabin to provide the additional legroom required.

The rear bench remained in place, preserving the vehicle’s multi-passenger capability despite the new two-door design.

The result was a custom coupe conversion that looks remarkably natural, with the craftsmanship and attention to detail expected from a true one-off build.

Lot Details

The Platform Behind the Build

The foundation of this custom coupe is a Lucid Air Pure, a vehicle that brings impressive performance.

In dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration, the Lucid Air Pure produces approximately 480 horsepower and 686 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle’s original starting price was around $77,400 before any custom fabrication, with the cost of the conversion not publicly disclosed.

Condition Assessment

The impact appears concentrated on the front end, with the visible damage documented in the auction photography.

The front bumper assembly is removed, the headlight cluster is missing, and the aluminum hood shows visible buckling. One of the dual-cooling radiators appears to be separated from its mounting area near the wheel arch.

Two details stand out about this listing:

• No deployed airbags are visible in the auction photos
• The custom bodywork appears intact

For this particular build, the condition of custom components is especially important. Created specifically for this vehicle, they represent the defining elements of the conversion and remain a key part of what makes this Lucid Air Coupe unique.

Evaluating the Opportunity

This Lucid Air Coupe presents several encouraging details for buyers evaluating a unique EV project.

The battery pack is positioned within the vehicle’s floor structure. The auction listing shows the vehicle with a low battery charge and indicates that it powers on.

Beyond the battery assessment, the vehicle’s overall foundation offers several notable strengths:

Key advantages:

• Front-end components, including the bumper, headlights, hood, and radiator, are based on standard Lucid Air components
• Damage appears limited to the area ahead of the A-pillars
• With only 2,898 miles, the vehicle shows minimal use across the suspension, brakes, and interior
• The visible custom fabrication appears to remain intact based on auction images

Important considerations:

• Lucid parts sourcing may require additional lead time compared with more established manufacturers
• High-voltage system work requires a qualified EV service facility
• No key is included with the vehicle, so key replacement and programming will be needed
• Battery pack condition should be confirmed through inspection

Verdict: A standout opportunity for buyers with EV expertise, the right repair resources, and access to Lucid parts.

Why This Vehicle Belongs in a Collection

This Lucid Air Coupe represents something Lucid has never offered as a factory model: a fully custom two-door interpretation of the Air platform. Combined with a high-profile former owner and a documented build by West Coast Customs, the vehicle carries a story that sets it apart from any standard production example.

Collector vehicles are often defined by more than performance numbers. Rarity, craftsmanship, provenance, and the story behind the build all contribute to their appeal. This Lucid Air Coupe brings together each of those elements, creating a unique opportunity for enthusiasts who appreciate one-off automotive creations.
