If you’ve ever wanted a luxury car that would immediately make the rest of the world envious (I know I have!) then look no further. Elvis Presley’s Mercedes Benz is up for sale and anyone can get it. Presley was known to live a luxurious lifestyle (he was the King, after all) and is said to have owned upwards of 200 vehicles in his lifetime. One of these is now up for grabs.
The six-door Mercedes Benz 600 that is one of the most famous cars around was purchased by Elvis in 1970 and is one of the few cars he registered in his own name. It is rumored to fetch up to 300,000 Euros at the auction.
