Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
Elvis's restored 1967 GMC is going up for auction.
https://www.usnews.com/news/entertai...up-for-auction Cool pickup, one of three he purchased for his ranch. Special order color or 505 dark green? 3/4 ton with split rims? Hard to tell. This is the only photo of the pickup I could find on the interweb |

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
Sorta owned by Elvis. Purchased by a family member that had power of atty for such things. Owned and repainted a few times by a few different people. Doubtful Elvis ever drove the truck or really had anything to do with it. It was just another farm tool used by his people.
Will be interesting to see what it goes for. Still a lot of Elvis fans this side of the ground =)

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
505 base short bed... I mean Cheyenne Super with S15 hubcaps . It would be worth more to me 100% correct no matter who owned it. I like it, but would either want to customize it or put back to original.

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
May have been owned by Elvis,but I too doubt he had much to do with it.
He had a flair for fancy,expensive luxury vehicles such as all the Cadillacs he bought and gave away. Living here in the land of Elvis,I can say my mom knew him back then.but,everyone here knew him.(or they claim to have known him!) He slept nearly everywhere in Mississippi.Ate most everywhere too. He did own a lot of vehicles.Even motorcycles. I think a title signed by him would be the proof. Mike. |

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
I little bit about the ranch the truck was used on:

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
I'd put the Circle G logos back on the doors and go back to stock mirrors.

Re: Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC
This was on Jay Leno's garage with Blake Shelton last year.
Cool video of them driving it. https://www.wideopencountry.com/blak...presley-truck/
