ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A private jet once owned by Elvis Presley is set to be auctioned
after sitting on a runway in New Mexico for 30 years.
Elvis designed the interior that has gold-ton woodwork, red velvet seats and red shag carpet.
But the red 1962 Lockheed Jetstar has no engine and needs a restoration of its cockpit.
Liveauctioneers.com says the 1962 red Lockheed JetStar was owned by Elvis and his father,
Vernon Presley.

Actually flew on a Jetstar as a kid. Very cool. Had analog dials in the cabin that told you how fast you were going and more headroom than you would expect in a small jet.
Burned gas as quick as the big commercial airliners that's why they had those slipper tanks on the wings so they disappeared quick in the 80's.

The auctioneer link mentions estimated value of $2 to 3.5 million. I kind of doubt it.
