Wow. $350K. Way too much, just because it belonged to Elvis. It does look nice though.

agreed, there are plenty of people around with his face tattoed on their a$$. I have no doubt that 350 grand is reasonable for someone with the cash and obsession.

For example, a russian bought hitlers MB limo for multiple millions of dollars.

Elvis was and is an extremely popular celebrity, I would be surprised if it did not go for way more in the end.

If a russian is willing to shell out that much for the personal car of a dictator who is responsible for the death of millions of his countrymen, stands to reason elvis's car would go for a lot of money as someone who was and is actually loved to this day.

Yep, not an Elvis Diehard!!!

I would not shell out extra bucks just because someone famous owned something that is now up for sale. That follows the "more dollars than sense" saying IMHO.
