The King's Caddy is up for grabs.
Although he only lived to be 42, Presley is said to have owned some 200 Caddies during his lifetime, almost all of which he gave away to friends and family. It’s probably because of that largesse that the yellow sedan, which was purchased in 1974, is believed to be the only car ever registered in the “All Shook Up” singer’s name, according to the listing. Even then, he didn’t hold on to the four-door for too long, handing it off to his doctor in 1976.
Under the hood, you’ll find a brawny 8.2-liter V-8 which pumped out 190 horses and 360 ft lbs of twist. It’s unclear what shape that engine is in, because despite being 47 years old, the car has only totaled 1,725 miles. It’s also only had four owners. The doctor to whom Presley gave the car sold it to the current owner in 1985, who’d sell it years later, before buying it back again.
Elvis’s yellow Caddy will up for bid on the Car & Classic website through Saturday. Bidding is currently up to $12,774 as of press time, though we imagine that will rise as the end of the auction grows near. Either way, someone just might get a bargain, as the rock legend paid $12,512 for the car brand new.
