After that, it was placed on a road in Roswell, New Mexico, USA, to serve as a tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p>But, the jet was recently sold at auction in Florida for $260,000 to a telephone bidder who claimed to be an Elvis enthusiast.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley, were on board the jet when it first rose above the clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Even after more than three decades have passed since Elvis\u2019s untimely demise, the plane has remained in the same New Mexico location. If you look closely, you\u2019ll notice that the plane\u2019s exterior is painted a muted red. Still, the plane is in surprisingly decent shape for its age.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmecumauction%2Fphotos%2Fa.158410560849973%2F6034279973262973%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500\" name=\"fitvid1\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Check out what\u2019s inside\u2026 I\u2019ll just put it this way: I wouldn\u2019t mind a long ride aboard this plane. It looks just what I pictured the King of Rock\u2019s style to be.<\/p>\n<p>The walls are paneled in wood, while the seats are upholstered in plush crimson velvet.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, there is a\u00a0<strong>\u201chigh tech\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0television set up. There is really just one big room aboard the plane.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmecumauction%2Fphotos%2Fa.158410560849973%2F6034280103262960%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500\" name=\"fitvid2\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The seating appears to be of high quality, and there is ample space for visitors. A tiny kitchen can be found behind the main room.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the microwave, for example. Considering how old it is, I highly doubt that it still functions. Concurrently, picture Elvis getting up from his chair, heading into the kitchen, and spreading a legendary Elvis sandwich, infamously composed of peanut butter, mayonnaise, crispy bacon, and banana, before popping it into the microwave. Fight the Past!<\/p>\n<p>Check out the lavatory! Of course, there should be more velvet, and a much fancier sink. When compared to the cramped quarters on charter flights, this is a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that horrible, is it? Thank goodness I was able to see a glimpse of Elvis\u2019s ideal vacation attire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fphoto.php%3Ffbid%3D605197568275704%26set%3Da.135219361940196%26type%3D3&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500\" name=\"fitvid3\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>As of this moment, the plane\u2019s winning bid at auction was $260,000.
