Post Reports - Rap impresario Sean "Diddy" Combs laid down a cool $350,000 to retrofit his Chevy Express 3500 -- a model more commonly used to haul plumbing gear than to transport multi-named moguls.
But Diddy wanted the van to serve as his mobile office, so he had it rebuilt from the ground up, said Matt Figliola, owner of custom shop AI Designs in Tuckahoe, Westchester.
The concept vehicle channels the oft-quoted Diddyism for high living: "Don't disturb the sexy."
So, to suit his champagne tastes, the folks at AI spared no expense.
In addition to the six plasma televisions, the lavish van features an audiophile-class sound system, a $2,000 wine cellar by Marvel with monogrammed door, hand-built hardwood floors and top-notch Edelman leather seats.
"He's got all the amenities he could want," Figliola said. "A full wet bar, a wonderful refrigerator by Marvel. The paneling, the seating, the upholstery is all custom."
Add a souped-up drive train, expanded cab, stop-on-a-dime brakes and chic rims, and you've got a rolling work of art fit for a king -- or His Diddyness.
"That particular van sets a new bar for us -- and everybody else, frankly," Figliola said.
