1967 GMC 1500 Shortbed Elvis Presley Owned From The Circle G Ranch!

Description

A very uniquepiece of history.
First, the history of the truck:
Wednesday February 8, 1967 Elvis Presleypurchased three new 1967 GMC Pickup Trucks for theCircle G Ranch inMississippi from Guy Caldwell Motors in Senatobia, Mississippi. One was Red, one was Blue and the last, this truck, was Green. This is documented in the book "Hurry Home Elvis", which is a collection of exerpts from the diaries of Donna Lewis, thedaughter of the Circle G Forman, GeorgeLewis. (Copy of the Book is included in the sale of the truck).March 5, 1968, Vernon Presley signs a bill of sale to sell the truck to Haynes Motors, LTD in Maryland. Vernon had a power of attorney to handle such things, a copy of which is included with the sale of the truck. Also included is a COPY of the above mentioned bill of sale along with a copy of the title application stating that Haynes purchased the truck from Elvis Presley. Elvis had sent some Circle G employees out of state to pick up a horse he had bought. While en-route to pick up the horse there was trouble with the truck so Elvis had them trade it in on a new one so they could get the horse. From there the chain oftitle gets a little tougher to follow. The consensus is that the head mechanic at the auto dealership purchased the truck from his employer, repaired it and used it for a few years. From there the truck ended up in Pensacola Florida owned by a Mr. Richards. Then, in 1986 the truck was purchased by my family for use in our Elvis Presley Museums. The truck has been on display in Niagra Falls, Canada, Virginia Beach, VA, Myrtle Beach, SC, Gatlinburg, TN and mostrecentlyPigeon Forge, TN until we brought it back to Georgia about 3 years ago and began the restoration.
This truck is a truly rarepiece of Elvis Presley history. While it is possible to find and purchase an Elvis Caddy or Lincoln I have never runacross another Elvis Truck, even with my family being collectors and in the Elvis Presley Museum business for decades. There is a rumor that a casino in Nevada purchased 2 similar trucks for large sums but I've yet to be able to verify.
Now, The Condition Of TheTruck:Professional, frame on restoration of a solid original truck. The bed was removed for the restoration but the cab was not. Engine was removed and detailed but to the best of myknowledge it has never been rebuilt. Truck runs and drives very, very well. While working on the paint, we discovered a fewdifferent colors so I feel the truck has had about 3 paint jobs prior. Original Green, then to red, then back to green (poor quality paint) then this last high quality paint job that it has now. Too many new parts to list with a large portion original parts boxed up and ready to go to the trucks new owner. Once again, truck is straight and rust free with a VIN that decodescorrectly.C2wdSI-6 Gasoline11/2 Ton57115" ShortbedOO/DWidesidePPontiac Assembly PlantC19679205Serial NumberAUnder 6000 GVWFeel free to ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
NO TRADES AND PLEASE DO NOT ASK THE RESERVE AS IT WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED. THIS IS A VALUABLE TRUCK EVEN WITHOUT IT'S UNIQUE HISTORY AND THE FACT THAT I AM OFFERING IT FOR SALE IS AN OPTION TO ME, NOT A NECESSITY.
