The jet is the only airplane known of, once belonging to Elvis that is still owned privately. The only other two are at Graceland.

The jet that will be up for auction is one of only 204 aircraft manufactured between 1957 and 1978 in a private project between Jetstar and Lockheed. Please note: The plane has no engines, and the cockpit has most components missing. The plane would have to be disassembled in order to be shipped, and our auction firm will play an assistive role in facilitating shipping at the winning bidder’s expense, as we have already received several quotes. This plane was sold in May of 2017 to a very loyal Elvis Presley fan. He called our auction firm, and said he would like to "sell it again", because he is almost 80 years old, and wants to see it be fully restored for the world to see. He said "He got really excited on auction day, and now he wants to see it go to a good home." The winning bidder will receive a letter of ownership from the previous owner, the complete set of FAA "Blue Ribbon Certified" documents and a letter of ownership from the current owner that purchased the jet in May of 2017. Our auction house also kept a media archive of every major publication, and most international news stories about the plane when it was last sold. We will supply this to the winning bidder as a courtesy. VIEW MORE PICTURES
