But what car are we talking about? Well, we’re talking about the 1970 Mercedes 600 SWB limo which is auctioned by Bonhams. Taking a look at that car you certainly would think that the King knew what he liked to drive and boy, did he ride in style. The car was bought by Elvis in 1969 for $15,000.

The Mercedes 600 SWB features a powder blue coat of paint and cream interior made of leather. No other information regarding the specs of vehicle have been released.

If you’re keen on getting it, be prepared with some serious dollars at your disposal, as the car is expected to get up to $300,000. So it would seem that there are quite a few number of fans willing to own it.
