Shaquille O’Neal just became the world’s first owner of a fully customized 1964 Chevy Impala boat.
We know this because the former NBA big man and sometime Texas resident was spotted driving his 1964 Chevy Impala boat on Lake Ray Hubbard by several people who posted videos of the unusual scene on social media.
The Impala boat is a creation of Effortless Motors, which surprised Shaquille O’Neal in a video the business shared on Instagram.
“The lowrider icon has officially gone from the streets to the water with a one-of-one build that’s already turning heads everywhere. Love it or hate it… you can’t say you’ve ever seen anything like this,” the caption reads.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala remains one of the most iconic American cars ever built,” Hot Freestyle wrote in the caption to another video of Shaq and his 196 Chevy Impala boat. “Known for its timeless styling, powerful V8 options, and deep roots in lowrider culture, the ‘64 Impala has become a symbol of classic American automotive history. More than 60 years after it first hit the road, it’s still one of the most recognizable and celebrated classic cars in the world.”
“Imagine just relaxing on a weekend and you see Shaq of all people in probably the largest car boat ever made,” Chron.com wrote in the caption to a video taken by @grifynjewelwest on TikTok.
