Classic
American Cars and Cadillacs were Elvis' lifelong passion
Elvis Presley had a passion for both
guns and cars. He shot this yellow Pantera with his personal firearm during a
temperamental outburst when he lost patience because the car would not
start. The car sustained several bullets - one into the tire, one in the
driver-side door and the last bullet went through the steering wheel

Elvis
bought this Pantera for $2,400 in 1974 for his girlfriend, actress Linda
Thompson. Although its mid-engine configuration qualified it
as an
'exotic
car' for its potent Ford engine.
The undaunted, the yellow Pantera, did start up immediately on the
second try. It takes more than three bullets to stop a Pantera! When
Pantera buyer saw this car in the collection of the owner of Fritts
Ford, Riverside, California, it had at least one bullet hole in the door
was repaired - only bullet wound in the steering wheel remains.
According to many of the
Memphis Mafia - Elvis loved carrying guns of all types. He was known to
shoot at TV sets if either Robert Goulet or Mel Torme appeared on the
screen. Above an image of one such TV which he had his uncle Earl
Pritchard remove, who later sold it. At the time of Elvis' death
in 1977 he owned 37 guns, rifles and one machine gun.
