Elvis BMW 507 Restoration – Video

 

When the BMW 507 Elvis Presley drove in Germany during his deployment there as a U.S. soldier was uncovered in 2014, it was a big deal. Mix together the beautiful 507’s ultra-limited 252-car production run in the 1950s and, well, Elvis, and you have classic-car gold. After making its way through multiple owners and losing its original engine and transmission somewhere along the way, the 507 found its way into the collection of a Californian, Jack Castor, who, with help, discovered its very famous one-time owner. He sold it to BMW Classic two years ago, and the car was displayed in its as-found condition—rough, to say the least—in Germany for a short time before BMW embarked on a total restoration that will be showed off at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
