The jet was purchased by the one and only, Elvis Presley, and now it’s heading to the Mecum auction block in Kissimmee, Florida… This 1962 Lockheed JetStar L-1329 was acquired up by the king of rock ‘n’ roll on December 22, 1976, for the princely sum of $840,000. Inside, the cabin features wood paneling and red velvet upholstery with gold-finish hardware. There’s seating for nine by way of six plush chairs that swivel and recline, along with a couch. An onboard entertainment system is tucked away in a media cabinet, featuring a television, RCA VCR player and audio cassette player. This JetStar is a truly rare bird with immense appeal and one that will do nothing but shake up the crowds at Mecum’s 2023 Kissimmee auction.
