Elvis Presley’s 1962 Lockheed 1329 JetStar,

For decades, Lockheed’s JetStar was the executive jet of choice for countless A-listers, recognized dignitaries and star-studded celebrities, and this 1962 Lockheed 1329 JetStar is no exception, as it was once owned by the king of rock ‘n’ roll: Elvis Presley. Presley acquired it from OMNI Aircraft Sales Inc. on December 22, 1976 for the princely sum of $840,000.

When Elvis took ownership of this particular JetStar, registered with the FAA as N-20TF, the entertainer was no stranger to luxurious aviation acquisition. He had already amassed a modest fleet, which included a custom Convair 880 named the “Lisa Marie” that went by the call sign of Hound Dog 1, along with a second JetStar identified by its call sign of Hound Dog 2.

With a busy touring schedule, these crafts were needed to transport the singer, his TCB band, backup groups, Col. Tom Parker and the ever-present Memphis Mafia to venues, concerts and appearances all around the country. Elvis kept several pilots on retainer that were ready to fly him to adoring fans at a moment’s notice.

This JetStar is one of several private jets owned by Elvis Presley, with two currently on display at Graceland. Inside, the cabin features wood paneling and red velvet upholstery with gold-finish hardware. There’s seating for nine by way of six plush chairs that swivel and recline, along with a couch. An onboard entertainment system is tucked away in a media cabinet, featuring a television, RCA VCR player and audio cassette player, and headphone ports with audio controls are located at every seat. A galley contains storage and a meal-prep area complete with a Kenmore microwave and beverage dispenser. At the rear is a lavatory along with additional storage and cubby areas.

In the spring of 1977, the jet was sold, later ending up with a Saudi Arabian company. The JetStar was then moved to Roswell International Air Center (ROW) in Roswell, New Mexico, where it’s been stored for decades and resides to this day. The aircraft will require disassembly to be shipped, and coordinating assistance is available. Documentation joining the jet includes a copy of the Aircraft Security Agreement document signed by Elvis Presley, a copy of the Aircraft Bill of Sale and Official FAA Blue Ribbon documents. While the P&W engines and many cockpit components have been removed and no engines or replacement parts will be included with the sale of Elvis’ jet, it serves as an incredible restoration opportunity and a chance to create a unique Elvis exhibit for all the world to enjoy.

This JetStar is a truly rare bird with immense appeal and one that will do nothing but shake up the crowds at Mecum’s 2023 Kissimmee auction. Elvis and his effect on the music industry are known the world-over, and this opportunity for a new owner to acquire an extravagant piece of his aviation past is a momentous occasion with untold room for flights of rock ‘n’ roll fancy.

Les Légendes De Bugatti Built in a series to commemorate the most important figures of Bugatti’s history, this is one of 3 cars to honour Jean Pierre Wimille. Jean won the 24h of Le Mans for Bugatti in 1937 and 39, referencing the Type 57G he raced (see my previous post. Jean’s signature adorns the filler cap and head rests, with the outline of Le Mans between the seat and painted under the spoiler. This car was the first of the six Legends Veyrons to be premiered and the only one to launch at Pebble Beach. Quite the incredible coincidence then for me see this car just 2 days before the winning Type 57G on the fairway! @bugatti @mecum_auctions ______________________________________ #carweek #monterey #california #mecumauctions #mecummonterey #auction #carauction #wherethecarsare #bugatti #leslegendesdebugatti #bugattiveyron #veyrongrandsportvitesse #jeanpierrewimille #lemans24 #blakejphoto (at Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClIb4h2OVdP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"El automóvil de carretera Ford GT40 MkI de 1966 se dirige a la subasta de Mecum en Kissimmee" ¡Wow! Este 1966 Ford GT40 MK1, uno de los coches de carretera más raros y buscados del mundo, estará en la subasta de Mecum's Kissimmee. ¿Y qué es lo que hace al GT40 tan ESPECIAL? Bueno, básicamente, es uno de los pocos coches que estuvo a la altura de desafiar la supremacía de Ferrari en Le Mans, y, amigo mío, fue un GANADOR. En términos de diseño, este vehículo es simplemente IMPRESIONANTE. Su silueta es tan icónica hoy como lo fue hace más de medio siglo. Y observa su color - Azul Medianoche. Este no es cualquier azul, es un azul que te grita VICTORIA - TÚ PUEDES VENCER A FERRARI. Pero no es solo historia y diseño. El GT40 tiene un V8 con nada menos que 335 caballos de fuerza. Eso, en 1966, era una absoluta LOCURA. No olvidemos esas curvas que este auto puede hacer en cualquier pista de carreras como si estuvieras en un carrusel divertido. O su comportamiento impecable en carretera. A pesar de toda su gloria pasada y presente, menos de 31 originales se hicieron para uso en carretera, lo que la hace una rareza increíble. Ahora tienes la oportunidad de comprar uno, eso si, trae MUCHO dinero. Asegúrate de seguir la subasta. ¡Estaré pendiente para ver cuánto se vendió! #FordGt40 #MecumAuction
