The Lockheed 1329 Jetstar, which belonged to the legendary Elvis Presley, was sold at the Mecum Kissimmee Collector Car auction in Florida. According to the Daily Mail, the cost of the lot was 260 thousand dollars, or almost 20 million rubles. The aircraft was released in 1962.

Presley bought it for 840 thousand dollars (almost 64 million rubles at the current exchange rate) in December 1976, a few months before his tragic death. In addition to this aircraft, the singer owned several more. Collecting cars and planes, according to the musician’s widow, was a “joy” for him.

After Elvis’ death, the Lockheed 1329 Jetstar remained parked in the desert in New Mexico for 30 years. Now, the vehicle, complete with a luxurious red velvet interior, gold details, TV, VCR and microwave, has gone to a new owner. His name is not revealed. View an overview of the vehicle Here.
