You Can Own Elvis Presley’s Luxurious Plane — But for a Bewildering Price

Advice

Calling all Elvis Presley fans! Now you have the chance to own his luxurious, private plane that the King of Pop used to travel in style. If you’re an avid fan of the late renowned singer, you surely wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to own one of the King’s former possessions. However, you might have to prepare your pocket first to make sure you can afford the purchase in addition to its renovation cost since the plane is in pretty bad shape after it was abandoned more than 30 years ago.

Elvis Presley’s luxurious plane is now up for auction

The Auction

Last year, an avid collector bought Presley’s 1962 Lockheed Jetstar plane in an auction for an astounding $430,000. However, said bidder announced the jet is up for purchase again. Whether he just lost interest in the possession or simply doesn’t want to spend any more money on renovation, many Presley fans consider this as a blessing in disguise to enter the bid for this unique masterpiece!

Presley often used the said plane to fly for his concert tours and leisure trips.

The current owner posted photos of the plane’s actual condition. Based on the images, it seems the owner didn’t renovate or make major changes to its original design. The jet still features Elvis Presley’s signature red carpet, velvet seats, as well as its gold-tone woodwork. You might have to invest in installing an engine if you plan on flying it though, as the aircraft currently doesn’t have a power source.

The Sale

IronPlanet reveals the selling price might be lower than the $430,000 to make the aircraft accessible to a broader market.
