June 09 - Auction Items

The popular Gotta Have Rock'n'Roll Auction next month July 17 - 26, 2019 will have two Elvis highlights in their offers. First up for sale is Elvis' "Speedway Guitar" a Fender Coronado II. 

Item two is a rare Elvis 1972 IC Costume Jacket with gold lame accented pockets, wide lapels and standing collar on stage in Las Vegas mid 1972. At this point, Presley favored two-piece suits worn with matching capes accented in patterned or colour linings and a variety of different colored shirts. 

It was originally obtained by Dr Bill Chandler when Elvis tossed it into the audience at a show at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1972. The jacket had stayed in the Chandler family as a treasured heirloom until he decided to sell it back in 2015 when it made nearly $60,000 at auction.
