The jet was purchased by the one and only, Elvis Presley, and now it's heading to the Mecum auction block in Kissimmee, Florida...
This 1962 Lockheed JetStar L-1329 was acquired up by the king of rock ‘n’ roll on December 22, 1976, for the princely sum of $840,000.
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.
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.

You can smell the 70's inside this time capsule
@leokimvideo.
Bottled-fart. 70's vintage.
I think that's qualudes and bourbon.
you must have smellovision installed
Kinda like a Tom Stimus conversion van, eh?
Tell me something I dont know
Unbelievable how good condition the passenger cabin is compared to the cockpit.
Looks like the pilot and co-pilot had severe gas issues...
Probably because the windshield is broken.. dummy
@@schwaggybammer968 don’t make me bring your mom into this.
@@schwaggybammer968 chillax friend, being rude isn't cool. It's more due to the dials being stripped etc, it's no more dirty as the cabin has an 8 inch home through the fuselage
The flight deck has the equipment with any value.
I know this comment is a bit late and I hope whoever made and edited this video is still reading comments. I just want to say how really great this whole video is - it's a breath of fresh air (regarding editing) compared to so many other horrible videos out there that are so hyped up and over-edited that they are actually stressful to watch. This video shined for me, not just for the extremely interesting content, but it was so natural and relaxing to watch. No silly music added in to distract the viewer, no hard cut editing-out of the natural pauses between sentences when speaking and no stupid video effects, zooms and cuts. All smooth and natural. Maybe you didn't know it would turn out so natural but that's how it ended up. I was right there with you listening to the tour guide - the only thing missing were the musty smells of 1970s fabrics, velour and wood. Thank you.
Wholesome comment mate. FUN FACT: Some add annoying music and content to harvest comments and those comments = $$$$$ for them
With how crazy some Elvis fans can get, I'm flat out surprised his jet, of all things, hasn't been put on an immortal pedestal already!
Crazy Fans? LMAO!!!! OH Your so so funny hahaha -- Yes We Are ALL CRAZY!!!! LMAOOO 🤪🤪
@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya Plz note I said some, i.e, not all 😀
Flew on this plane several times when it was owned by Morton Norwich. No purple interior at the time. Flew into a dirt strip at a salt operation in the Brazilian jungle as well as well as another plant on Grand Inagua in the Bahamas. Plane also flew into East Hampton Airport on Long Island. It was one of the first jets to fly into EH (1973-74) and the town lengthened the runway so it could take off with a full load of fuel and fly to Chicago without stopping at Suffolk Airforce base. In the video, you indicate that Morton sold it to EP in 1976. Morton must have purchased another JetStar as they had one flying in 1981.
There are no JetStars still flying at all.
@@brentsutherland6385 maybe now but he did mention 1981 is when he said they were flying.
you may be colorblind good sir
Interesting info Sim!
When it Rains, It Pours!
The interior is in remarkably good shape.
Graceland must not want it for a museum piece
@@jessieblanton8871 ,
Graceland won't want it until it's 100% restored.
This was one of Lockheed's few ventures into the civilian realm, and so they just "naturally" made everything mil-style and to milspec. If you surmised this resulted in a craft with an excellent safety record, you would be correct. (Same with the L-1011...) e.g. even though The JetStar was never intended to be supersonic, the Engineers thought "in a dive, you never know..." so notice there is no hinged "elevator" control surface, but rather the entire horizontal "stabilator" moves as one piece, as seen on their F-104 and other military jets. This eliminates deadly "flutter" and thus improves control at trans-sonic speeds. Elvis knew, and now you do too! 🤔 _sideburns_
Thanks for the tour; I'm sure many Elvis fans will enjoy this video! Hopefully it will be bought and restored!
It got ripped into pieces check out jimmys world
Would love to see someone restore this. Awesome piece of history.
Someone should also try to get this flying again.
New paint, fake engines and a cleaned up interior maybe, doubt it'll ever fly again.
Maybe Spa Guy ‼️
too expensive, it doesn't make sense
@@ItsElectricz Would take so much work, time, and love to get that thing air worthy lol
A great piece of history from one of my idols and wonderful for Meccum to be handling the auction of this time capsule. 👍🏽
I worked on Jetstars in 1979 and 1980 when I was stationed at Ramstien AB Germany. We had a small fleet of executive jets for flying around high ranking individuals and dignitaries. We called our operation Teeny Weeny Airlines.
So, TWA?
@@UDubFootballFan It was written on the wooden sign we had over the door of our hanger going into the offices. It may have been referred to as TWA from time to time.

Thanks so much. Very interesting.
Thanks for posting.
I might be showing my age here a bit, but SO MUCH of that plane reminds me of stuff in my house growing up in the 80s. My parents couldn't exactly afford new things at first, so a LOT of their furniture and appliances were given to them by others. That microwave for instance looks a lot like the one we had when i was a kid, my dad had a chair with upholstery on like those in that plane and that CRT TV brings back LOTS of memories...lol. I REALLY hope that whoever buys that plane restores back to its ORIGINAL glory as it was when Elvis had it.
I've been waiting for years to see what's inside that bird. I used to work there at the airport and see it every morning curious on what it looked inside.
Which airport
Roswell municipal
Why didn't you just go look?
@@brittanycunningham787 it's locked lol
Yeah that bird is locked and literally far away from the main grounds to get to
I’m very surprised that no one has bought this and refurbished it to its glory days with Elvis! Whether he ever rode in it or not to me, is not that important. It’s an amazing plane! The inside is pretty pristine for a plane that’s been sitting for long. I wish I was rich, I’d buy it then deck it out like it used to be! And I would be sure that it would be in perfect flying condition so I could use it! SO COOL!!!!
This, dear lady, is why you are not rich.
@@DIYDaveT I'm rich, unlike you, my dear lad. Perhaps my interest has peaked into this amazing story, and I shall see fit to make an offer to have it moved to Las Vegas and restored for the viewing public. How appropriate do you think that would be?

It's incredible how clean the interior is! I'm expecting to see the king walk in at any moment with how untouched it is!

How can you know? Don't think people said the same when Frank Sinatra and others were in their prime ? How many Michael Jackson fans would disagree maybe?

I worked for a company at the Roswell airport, we were told that Elvis had owned the plane but he actually never flew in it. I also had the privilege to go inside the plane myself and took my daughter with me too they had a small event there and they were letting people go inside this plane and some other different ones as well.

It's amazing how many people today don't even know the name "Elvis Presley". Time waits for no man.
I don't know a single person alive who doesn't at least know of Elvis. I've been in the middle of Africa and his music is playing. Unless you are part of an uncontacted tribe, you know who Elvis is. (People may not know he wasn't the greatest person. But still)
I hate this "people these days" bullshit. In 40 years people will say "remember Justin Bieber? Nobody talks about him anymore!!!" Time and time again throughout history the same sentence has been uttered yet NOBODY HAS OR WILL EVER FORGET.
Rant over, lol.
@@willyhearrell9060Maybe he's still a thing in Africa, but you'll meet plenty of young people in the U.S. -- and definitely in Los Angeles! -- who don't recognize his name. You're reacting as if I said Elvis was somehow "bad" or irrelevant, and you took it personally, when all I actually pointed out is the fact Elvis's day was a very long time ago for many people alive today.
@@NZobservatory I'm from San Francisco and under 25. I didn't think you were saying he was bad. (I was! As a person that is. I have severe ADHD so I end up saying loads of things that have no relation to the topic at hand. My bad there!)
His music is remixed and used as backing tracks for modern rap. The new movie that came out and all these things are why I'm saying Elvis of literally all people is a household name and never will be forgotten. You could have said Bob Dylan (my personal favorite) and you'd have a point or...again anybody else. Just calling Elvis forgotten/young people not knowing who he is made me laugh. It's Elvis! I think it did the real human Elvis a lot of damage from being so well known/a literal household name!
At the Halloween party at the school where I work, 2 girls dressed as Elvis in fact! (Really well done actually. Jailhouse rock themed!)
@@NZobservatory well said, and agree
Hi, From LA here and everyone I know knows who Elvis is, idk who this Benmore Peak guy is though.
People keep commenting that the interior is purple. Its not. It's red like the exterior color. Red velvet upholstery to be exact. Mecum Auctions even provided the ownership description listed on official paperwork: Inside, the cabin features wood paneling and red velvet upholstery with gold-finish hardware.
How cool is that???!!!! It would be so awesome to see it restored and back in the air if that is possible. Cannot imagine what this will go for...
Best thing to do is find another one that is flying. Transfer all the numbers off this plane onto that one. Redo the interior . And destroy this one. No one will know. Cheapest option.
This is the third time I know of in the last 5 years that this plane has come up for sale. No one wanted it the 2 previous times. The interior isn't from Elvis's time, and it's doubtful he ever even saw the plane.
Looks like a job for Rebuild Rescue. Always loved the Lockheed Jetstar. What a cool plane. My father piloted one of these for Ethyl Corp out of Richmond VA back in the early to mid 60s.
I don't think a plane left out in the desert like this has any chances of flying again. But someone should restore it for display in a museum, the interior is so cool
It would take a massive team of engineers and lots of $$$ to get it flying again
Not enough bird crap in it...
Might be possible now since it carries Elvis premium on it. Who knows if some rock star buys and rebuild it to fly around. Wouldn't you do the same if you had money.
They have taken crashed aircraft from lakes,oceans rivers and put back k in airworthy condition.
Obviously no one here has,any clue about aircraft restoration, except the one that stated "all it takes is money".
That's the bottom line.
The fact that EPE/ Graceland let it out of their possession after Elvis died and never acquired it back shows that it wasnt of much or any importance to Elvis. As you see when visiting Graceland, everything that really has importance or relevance to Elvis' legacy is there on Display. Also considering this was purchased in late 76 I would say there is a good chance that Elvis never even flew in it. It's well known that the Lisa Marie was his pride and joy and that's the plane he flew in when he traveled. So basically this plane here was at most used by some of the crew for his last one or two tours. So honestly in my eyes the signed paperwork is the most valuable part of the auction, assuming it is included. Because let's face it the plane could never fly again so its basically a lawn ornament that the King probably only stepped foot in when he bought it if then.
I don’t think Elvis signed the paperwork. I think his dad did as Elvis’ power of attorney.
@@rmr24 May be, but the signature on the paper in the video alongside Vernon's looked like the way Elvis signed his name. With that said Vernon probably signed Elvis' name on many things over the years so he very well could have signed it.
I was in Memphis when Elvis died went to Graceland and was greatly underwhelmed the family has mined all they can from his estate and got rid of a lot of items that were his its all about the money
Maybe not that particular jet, but Elvis had two jets parked at Graceland that he flew on often.
@@lutomson3496 His estate was had severe financial troubles after he passed, so yes they did have to sell some things. However over the years they have purchased back the most important items of those they had to let go which really wasnt all that much anyway. The majority of items that have come up for sell has been things that Elvis and/or the family gifted to people and those people have at one time or another sold them. Even the auction that Graceland itself holds each year only consists of items from other sellers. They do not sell or offer anything owned by estate and the Graceland archives. All of that is owned by Lisa Marie and she has stated several numerous times that she will never sell her dads belongings or property and that it will be in their family forever.
Wow, so cool to find such a cool vintage artifact!
all I can say is "I'm All Shook Up"
Can't believe how nice the interior is after this long.
This needs to be restored it’s a gem ❤
I’m sorry but this one will never see the air again. The spruce goose has a better chance of flying again.
@@palletwizard ,
Google "Jimmy's World", he's got ownership of the jet now, he bought it at Mecum's for $236,000.00.
Love that interior!
I used to work for Prat been there many times and used to see that old bird every time it was nice seeing it again thanks
I'm afraid it will cost way more to repair than it is worth...
Didn't that boxer, buy with his 100.000 million prize,spent it all.
@@anthonyevans9169 that's not even a sentence
But it was owned by Elvis...
@@einszwei1226 its certainly methed up.
Yes.....about 5 x the cost of a modern aircraft of similar size. It would be a labour of love to restore it so that it looked flyable, but rest assured it will never fly again.
That interior has held up very well.
Beautiful plane, love the big windows.
Thank you for sharing. This was a great aircraft when they were flying...

I worked on the C140A Jetstar in the USAF in the early 80’s. This brought back lots of memories! It was a great plane to work on. I never knew Elvis had a Jetstar! Pretty cool!

@@lonmcq7317 No. He owned 3 jets before he died: The Convair 880 and 2 Jetstars. Look it up.
I remember C-140s from my time at Travis and later Scott AFBs. I know that Lockheed used DU counterweights on the control surfaces of the C-141s and C-5s, but I've never heard whether they did on the Jetstar. Do you know?
He owned 3
A long way from the poor boy from Tupelo who came to Memphis in a old Plymouth to live in the projects.
Thank you. Wow. Nice choice Elvis
Those seats are still in really great shape really cool video
The interesting thing about these planes is that the entire vertical fin/rudder and horizontal stabilizer/elevator assembly tilts in order to set the pitch trim. An interesting way to do things!
These original business jets were designed as transports for the US armed forces.
Great video!
All Mooneys do exactly that, the entire vertical fin/rudder and horizontal stabilizer/elevator assembly tilts in order to set the pitch trim.
@@Chr15T Correct!
Nice detail, i had to go back and see. at 0:47 we see the tail fin assembly. At the base of it we see that there is no paint on the corresponding area that moves. We can also discern where the pivot is by the fact that the paint joins at only a small section where it might be pivoting.
Wow. That's freaky. Never noticed until now.
Why would you do that?
Old Lockheed J-Star. That plane has been sitting in Roswell for a while. I found it there about 15 years ago and looked through it. It gave me the impression that a red velvet grenade blew up inside it!
Super cool you made a video on it. Good work!
I never understood that type of interior decoration. Many RVs come outfitted that way. It reminds me of a New Orleans brothel. Not that I've been in one!
@@KutWrite That is excactly what it is, Parisian or New Orleans red light district brothel decor. I love it!
@@frankfarago2825 We must hang out in the same places.
Super interesting. I enjoy these "found" type of videos.
I toured Elvis home in 2006 and all his possessions. So cool.
It’s so crazy how all this time, aircraft has NOT drastically changed
As a kid into jet aircraft, the Jetstar was cool looking.
Part of Queen's American leg of that tour (1977) involved the bands use of a very special plane . The plane that was originally booked was found not to be airworthy, and so a substitute was rented at very short notice from a very special place.
The Lisa Marie was furnished by the Elvis Presley Organisation and we used this delightful personalised jet for several weeks. It was the closest Freddie ever got to meeting Elvis. It would have been his dream come true. At a later date, Lisa Marie actually gave Freddie a scarf which had once belonged to her father. It was a treasured possession, one which certainly did not end up in Freddie's loft -
The next owner should piece it out and sell piece by piece for true Elvis's fans and would make 3x+ his investment🤑
Smart,,,,!.....it's probably sold now!!!.😯😯...Elvis dna included!😯😯........too cool....hell,even set it up for tours,,,5.00 a ticket!!!😐😐notsorry......land o' lakes,wi.

One made a comment that the paperwork is probably worth more than the plane at this point. Wonder what plane the engines are on now.
@@patmayer7222 Black Oak Lake & Pine Cone Cafe! Best damn omelet in the nation. Do you know Walt Bates? One heckuva 747 driver (retired). Took a ride in his homebuilt seaplane and dropped right-in on approach right over heads of swimmers at the public beach! Forget the name of that ice cream place in town but you could order a "Walt Malt" and they knew what you were talking about.
Just an aviation addict; born & raised to a Boeing engineer, six miles from Boeing Field in Seattle. Spent several months in Land O Lakes in 2007. Former 727-200 PFE. But the Jetstar... just a beautiful, miniature airliner.
My father piloted a Jetstar in the 70's and 80's. I was able to get in it at the time as a kid, it was a great aircraft.
I adore Elvis. This plane needs love.
Thats so cool at the fact that its still looks like that inside after all these years
Engine changes were kind of a pain for both this jetstar with pratt and whitney motors and the jetstar II with the 731's. Pretty unique aircraft, had a huge aft equipment bay ,had a Garrett apu pretty easy to access and change getting in and out of the hell hole through the opening was not the easiest. what put these aircraft out of service was corrosion especially fuel tank,planks etc. At one time they had a re-engined version with GE CF34's never came about do to all the corrosion issues. Great airplane.
Mm
maintenance manuals were awesome too !

* remove antiskid dust cover
* remove locking bolt and axle nut.
* remove wheel assy from axle

The 1970s had such a nice rustic culture. Everytime I see house/car/plane interiors and applications from that era they look so much more spectacular and homey than the black/grey/white sharp-edge synthetic style we have today.
What a beauty of a plane, the design is amazing! And what a time capsule, curious to know the flight data (and it EP did fly with it)
Elvis Never Flew on that plane. The most contact Elvis had with it. And it is Rumored that he walked on and walked off. That plane had 3 owners or more AFTER Elvis owned it.
On my flight back from the Oshkosh airshow this summer in Wisconsin I was flying back in our bonanza, we stopped at Roswell airport to get fuel for our next leg. When we met with the ramp guys they said that was Elvises old plane.
It’s crazy that I now get to see the inside

That was pretty interesting. Thanks!
I imagine once restored and in working order with the Elvis connection and groovy style it will sure fetch the BIG BUCKS!
The whole airplane appears in surprisingly good condition but the upholstery, especially so!
Amazing piece of history, it needs to be restored and preserved. I doubt it'll be airworthy unless somebody really does a complete teardown and rebuild right down to the nuts and bolts - along with rigorous testing. Too much time sitting on the ground and under the sun without protection has pretty much killed the airworthiness out of it. If it had been grounded for about a year or two maybe, then it might have flown again - but that time has LONG passed. To quote Indy: "It belongs in a museum!"
Vrøvl den skal bare startes op igen så kan den flyve igen
Because it was owned by a junkie dancer?
To bad it's been Cut up recently. It wasn't able to be restored and flown ever again
Yeah, people who don't understand aviation will think it's worth restoring, but essentially you would have to completely rebuild it, even the airframe (outside) is too far gone. Might as well buy a brand new plane and kit it out with the fixtures and fittings. The interest for most must be in the interior and all that velvet. I love it.
@@medwayhospitalprotest have you watched the video of Jimmy that bought the plane recently?
Wouldn’t it be great if someone super rich and interested in investing in history of not only the plane but in Elvis as the owner would restore it to fly again 🥰 RIP Lisa Marie Presley 🙏🏼
I finished up high school and did some flight training in roswell. Always liked seeing this plane while I was taxiing to and from a runway
I really appreciate the level of depth combined with the brevity of the content. Subscribed 👌.
Never have I ever seen that jet, I'm surprised by the interior, should do it up and put in a museum, it's a shame to leave it there, rock on elvis
That’s the best place for it if it’s not sold, the desert keeps moisture out of aircraft meaning they don’t rust or rot
Absolutely love the paint job

I worked at the airport in Roswell and had the privilege of taking the new owners into the plane. I got to take pictures of myself and a video of me inside and outside the plane. I'm not a very big Elvis fan but it was cool to check out.

what a nice comfortable looking plane
the 4 turbo-fan Lockheed jet-star
That aircraft has been there for years. You didn't find it. It will known and comes up for sale every couple of years with no takers.
Indeed! Well known item there. I’ve parked airliners there for storage and Elvis’ jet always gets pointed out during the usual ride across the concrete.
How much are they asking for it ?
The cost to restore it must be far more than its value
They literally said it was well known
Why don’t you learn how to make sentences??
I'll take that history, so cool, needs an updo then place in museum somewhere ❤️
Excelente información 👍🌟
Hope it gets saved and restored. Time capsule. The jetstar was a beautiful jet
The interior is actually in pretty good shape for it's age
Very cool!!!!!
I dont know about airplane but this jet shape is still looks relevant into this year, looks great with great history
This jet inside look better than some homes
The engines are sitting in an aviation museum in Pigeon Forge TN.
Dolly Parton stores her bras in them.
Couldn't even fathom the money Elvis had to blow.. But at least he was extraordinarily generous and genuinely cared about people other than himself.. Gotta love the King...
Wow amazing
