To verify the authenticity of the lot (not that there are a lot of counterfeit private planes floating around), the auction house included Elvis’s instructions, signed by the legendary musician himself.
This wasn’t Elvis’s only plane, but it’s the only one of his three planes that’s still privately owned. According to the auction house, it’s been sitting for decades, and it’s in the exact same condition today as the day that Presley died.

At the time, the Lockheed JetStar was one of the largest business jets in its class, as it was capable of seating 10 passengers (plus 2 crew). Several JetStars are still capable of flight, but Elvis’s private model isn’t among them; it’s missing both of its engines, so any potential buyer will need to do some pretty substantial work to get it off the ground.
Then again, few buyers would ever dream of actually flying Elvis’s jet. It’s part of rock and roll history, and while it’s undoubtedly a comfortable ride, it’s hallowed ground for any of The King’s fans.For more insights on the King’s private jet, Click “Next”.
