Elvis Presley's abandoned airplane has finally been sold after 40 years in the desert, but wait till you see how it looks inside. Video in comments 👇

Elvis Presley wasn’t just renowned for his groundbreaking music and distinctive voice that captivated millions worldwide.

He also had a flair for food and fashion (blue suede shoes, anyone?), and perhaps surprisingly, a talent for interior design.

This flair is beautifully showcased in the King of Rock’s iconic private jet.

A glance inside reveals stunning wood paneling, lush carpeting, and plush red velvet chairs.

The plane, a Lockheed Jetstar model, remained in Elvis’s possession for over 35 years but was abandoned following his death in 1977.

Among his private aircraft collection, this Lockheed was particularly memorable.

His fleet included a customized Convair 880, known as “Lisa Marie,” marked by the call sign Hound Dog 1, along with another JetStar aircraft, Hound Dog 2.

Elvis’s collection of private planes was a testament to his lavish lifestyle and passion for aviation

The jet had been parked for decades along a road in Roswell, New Mexico, but after all these years, it has finally found a new owner. An Elvis fan recently purchased it over the phone at a Florida auction, paying $260,000.

When the plane first took to the skies, Elvis shared it with his father, Vernon Presley. After his passing, the aircraft sat in New Mexico for more than 30 years. Its exterior red paint may now appear a bit faded, but for its age, it’s still in impressive condition.

Take a peek inside… It’s everything you’d expect from the King of Rock’s signature style. The walls are lined with wood panels, and the chairs are upholstered in rich red velvet.

Naturally, there’s a ‘high-tech’ TV installed. The plane’s layout is mostly one large room, offering comfortable seating with plenty of space for guests. Beyond the main cabin, there’s a small kitchen. Just look at the vintage microwave – it likely doesn’t work anymore after all these years. Imagine Elvis stepping out of his seat, heading to the kitchen to make his classic sandwich with peanut butter, mayonnaise, crispy bacon, and banana – then warming it in the microwave. Rock history!

The bathroom, of course, features more velvet and a luxurious sink, quite the contrast to the cramped quarters of today’s charter flights.

Not bad, right? I’m thrilled to have had this glimpse into Elvis’s ultimate travel style.

The plane recently sold at the Mecum Kissimmee Collector Car auction in Florida on January 8, going for $260,000. The new owner, who bid by phone, remains unidentified.
