A rare piece of Elvis Presley’s personal history is about to go under the hammer. The 1962 Lockheed 1329 JetStar — purchased by the King of Rock and Roll in 1976 — will be auctioned in January, giving fans and collectors a chance to own one of the most extravagant symbols of his legendary lifestyle.
The aircraft, known for its distinctive red velvet interior and silver-accented cabin, is currently in need of full restoration. It has no engines, missing cockpit components, and has spent decades stored in an aircraft graveyard in Roswell, New Mexico. Despite its condition, auction organizers believe it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a major artifact from Elvis’s final year.
