Fantastic interview. I was never doubting that it wasn’t the ambulance. But listening to the expert & how he knew certain things that clicked with this ambulance should make doubters believe. I’m a nurse & for whatever reason, I het so choked up when I watch these videos about the ambulance. I’ve seen a lot and you can’t break down. But, this is a tough one if you picture Elvis that day, knowing what they were trying even though he was probably already gone moves me to tears. Thanks for all your hard work with this. Elvis is saying to himself ( “boy, that guy never gives up. What a fan I have. “).👍🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🎸🎸❤️
Billy, to some, it may not seem like a big deal that this Ambulance was saved from a scrap heap. But I guarantee you future generations will find it fascinating and amazing that it didn't get thrown in to the scrap heap of history. Imagine if we had the train that took Lincoln from DC to Illinois? The hearse that carried President Washington or Kennedy? These things matter. Especially to those of us who care about history. Thank you for what you are doing!
@@thomaspearce8424 It is quite something to see. And sobering. JFK was carried by a riderless horse snd caisson. I believe it is kept at Arlington National Cemetery.
You've always amazed me with the information you've found out about elvis, obscure facts and places all connected to the King. But this has to be your crowning glory, its got to be the most famous ambulance in history, well done Billy for having the diligence to chase it up for all those years and actually buying it, absolutely amazing.
Billy is the man! I love and appreciate all your amazing detective work on Elvis Billy, thank you. Definitely going to come visit your TigerManDojo Museum soon, looking forward to it.
Amazing, so good it didn't end up getting scrapped and crushed up. How wonderful that people like you have taken ownership to help conserve and display it. Great job and thanks.....
It was so great to see that Robert DeNiro concurred with you as to the authenticity of this vehicle. Just kidding there, but it really is so good to see someone in the know authenticate the ambulance. The fact that this vehicle still exists is a miracle in itself. Thanx, Billy, for saving it and keeping it's existence important. The museum's lookin good. Will have to make my way there to see it. Proud of you guys. Take care.
Good morning hour work is vídeo de leart a lot about Elvis... every detail...photos....images..., places we're Elvis hos been ...congratulations.... send.. hello tô brazil.. we Love Elvis. When possíble comments on a RUclips vídeo where Elvis appears "interesting comparasion"..
So glad you were able to have the ambulance verified and authenticated for all those doubting Thomas's. Thank you so much for all you do. And thanks to the firedepartment historian..
Excellent video for the confirmation of the ambulance! Wish I could get to Memphis, but its unlikely. So glad you do all these videos so we can see all that we cant visit in person.
I've been watching the spa guy with my father. For about a month now this guy is incredible my father remember seeing the ambulance leaving Graceland and we also seen the pictures it just blows my mind that you have a piece of History in your museum and your possession now thank you
Congrats Billy this is as big a find as the bicycle from Graceland. Wow incredible detective work Billy. I hope the people at Graceland commend you for the great work you’ve done.
Hey Spa Guy, I just wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful videos about Elvis. Your videos are fascinating and I truly enjoy them! They are very well done videos! Through your videos, I get to see things I could never afford to see in person, so please know how much it’s greatly appreciated! Please don’t listen to the haters out there! You just keep doing your great work! There is tremendous historical value to your work and I just wanted to send you a note of encouragement!
Thanks for saving this piece of history from the end of LONELY STREET and sharing this with the world. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU BEEN TO KIND😁
Been watching Elvis stuff all morning and picked up my phone and you gotta Ambulance video. Watched the Good stuff videos and have been soaking it up. Tighten Up Spa Guy
Fantastic that it has been found, but I just can’t help feeling so sad about it too, after all these years, the day we are talking about is still so fresh in my mind, I hope that Elvis is indeed resting in peace, top job Spa guy
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you Mr.Billy. You completely saved and restored perhaps one of the most important pieces of Elvis history. Your hard work is so very much appreciated. God bless you always and I look forward to visiting your museum soon!
Correct and at the time like what was said in the retrace video almost 6 years ago that it was so new at the time and it was parked towards the rear of their quarters behind Engine 29 also 9-1-1 at the time so you had to call 0 to get an ambulance to where you need it
Just confirming that this was indeed the ambulance that had taken Elvis from Graceland to Baptist Hospital in August 16, 1977. Cool Mr. Spa Guy. Thanks for tightening up and preserving Elvis' history. Thank the Smith family and all who helped in this project. Be safe and well in your travels. God bless you and yours.
There was no doubt in my mind you found the right one, and now Bill has confirmed it. I shared this video with others I know who are interested in this kind of thing. Definitely was intended to be a Chevrolet branded chassis as I stated by the VIN. The VIN decodes as C for Chevrolet (it would be a T for GMC), C for 4x2 conventional cab, Z for 454 V8 with four barrel, 3 for 1 ton rating, 3 for cab and chassis, 5 for 1975 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. As noted, the Chevrolet and GMC versions of the same chassis were both made in the same plants (including St. Louis, MO where this one was made), so there's always a chance of both sets of badges like that. The "R.E.V." in the 1991 photo stands for the Ambulance body builder who was Roadsafe Emergency Vehicles which was around from 1972 to 1978. Eventually this would become "F.A.C.T." or First Ambulance Center of Tennessee which started around 1988, was bought out in 1992 and eventually went bankrupt. Eventually around 1995 they went out of business and then what was left of the company would become Select-Tech which is still in business today selling Ambulance parts and doing body remounts. The founder of Select-Tech, Steve Feldhaus worked for FACT for a time starting in 1978. This "R.E.V." is not to be confused with today's REV Group who makes Ambulances, as that company was formed in 2015 from a combination of other existing Ambulance builders. Today's REV Group owns Ambulance companies Wheeled Coach, Horton, American Emergency Vehicles (AEV), Leader, Road Rescue, Marque, McCoy-Miller, and Frontline and also owns fire apparatus manufacturers, other vehicle companies and recreational vehicle manufacturers.
That's very cool Spa Guy I like the way you do business, you're dotting all your I's and crossing all your T's to make sure everything is official and legit. To be honest with you, I am surprised at how nice your museum looks and how well you've refurbished it back to what it was, you have done an excellent job and I hope you have nothing but success with it!
Oh yeah after I watched your video when you found her, I watched some of the old footage from that day and had NO DOUBT IN MY MIND what you discovered. But it's nice to see it's official now lol THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK SPA GUY
Incredible Billy, 👍😊So glad Bill was able to come, and confirm for the nay sayers that this ambulance is the Elvis unit that carried him to Baptist Hospital on August 16th, 1977, where he was pronounced dead or DOA. When folks come in Dojo , can they take photo's standing by ambulance? Thanks again for sharing Billy,,appreciate you much!😊👍💜Your friend, Bonnie
This is great that you are preserving history. The reason fire apparatus is in good shape, is because they are kept inside a building til they go on a call.
Great work you have saved a very important piece of Elvis history sad but important I hope one day I get to visit it from 🇮🇪 Ireland . Taking Care of Buisness yet again Bill .
That is absolutely amazing that you found that. Very impressive. I know a minor restoration would be good, but I myself with it being such an amazing find would be willing to do a full restoration to how it looked in 1977. That would be amazing.
Wow that's incredible to see. This gives me goose bumps. So that was the ambulance that gave Elvis his last ride. I bet he's in Heaven looking down and smiling. I'll definitely be there to see it and, hope to meet you Billy. Thanks for confirming it. You can fix the ambulance to working order but, please don't totally restore it. I think it tells more of a story that way. That's what Mike Wolf from American Pickers says.
Love your videos Spa Guy. 👍 You must come to Scotland 🏴 and visit Prestwick Airport the only place in the UK 🇬🇧 Elvis ever set foot on. The name Presley is supposed to originate in Scotland as well and I believe his family tree has descendants from Scotland. 👍
His last one alive would be the car he drove home the night before, and his last one after death would be whatever was used to transport him from the mausoleum back to Graceland for final burial a couple months later. This ambulance falls somewhere between those.
@@ThamiumOne I was referring to the bicycle Billy helped find in the smokehouse in Graceland. Elvis could potentially been alive in this ambulance, not in the hearse. But I'll wait and see if Billy says how he feels about it.
@@russellgay5337 - I understood the bike reference... definitely his first ride it's safe to say. As for the ambulance though- Given that his body showed signs of at least a couple of hours of tightening, with no vital signs whatsoever, that indicates a person is deceased in every clinical way. If you're found that way, you're well beyond life no matter what.
@@SpaGuy - I wasn't implying that the ambulance isn't important or significant, by the way. Whether or not it was his last ride in any way isn't the point anyway - it's what was used to try saving his life. It's an incredible find and it's only because of your work that it's not still sitting forgotten and deteriorating in the weeds.
Wenn ich irgendwann nach Memphis fahre , muss ich euer Museum besuchen. Danke an den Spa Guy und seinen Freunden für die großartige Arbeit und Erinnerung an Elvis. Gruß aus Hamburg Germany Stephan
Great to see it authenticated. I do respect your prerogative on not restoring it, but I feel like bringing it back to 1977 condition is the better choice. In my opinion, the Elvis fans, myself one of them, agree that it needs to be historical period correct, as a number of people would presume that it's being left as is to preserve patina, instead of a piece of rock and roll history. That's simply my take on it.
Rick Dale of Rick's Restorations in Las Vegas did great amazing work restoring old vehicles and other vintage stuff. See if he's available for advice or consultation.
Don’t restore it[I know your not]… it will only be original once . because of it’s original significance in regards to Elvis Presley it would be a huge mistake to repaint or do any other major modifications. Great job in saving this important historic vehicle and for sharing all the information about it to all of us.Thank You.
SG: I LOVE THE FACT OF THE AUTHENTIC OF ELVIS PRESLEY 'S MUSIC CAREER AND HIS WORLD. HOPE TO VISIT MEMPHIS TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOD GAVE TO BLESS OUR RELATIONSHIP ON THIS PLANET WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS AND GOOD TIMES. TAKE CARE. BC EVERYONE KNOWS ELVIS WAS KING OF ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC. 🌍🧡💛💙💜💚💫❤💕🐢🥰👏🥂🍾🔥👑🎇✨🎆

The Kennedy Hearse and MLK Hearse are in museums to my knowledge..
@@SpaGuy Mr Spa Guy. To my knowledge, the MLK hearse is in Alexandria, LA at the Cajun Pawn Shop!
Yes the MLK hearse is in the cajun pawn shop they bought it and refurbished it to nearly new condition I personally saw it there
@@thomaspearce8424 It is quite something to see. And sobering. JFK was carried by a riderless horse snd caisson. I believe it is kept at Arlington National Cemetery.

That is awesome! So great to have a historian in that field to absolutely confirm it! Just incredible!!
What a Great Interview with A Person who was a Fireman and could authenticate the Vehicle. Thanks Billy
Billy is the man! I love and appreciate all your amazing detective work on Elvis Billy, thank you. Definitely going to come visit your TigerManDojo Museum soon, looking forward to it.
Bill is so good with details. I
Love how he goes the extra steps to certify Elvis I go. Thank you Billy!
Amazing, so good it didn't end up getting scrapped and crushed up. How wonderful that people like you have taken ownership to help conserve and display it. Great job and thanks.....
It was so great to see that Robert DeNiro concurred with you as to the authenticity of this vehicle.

Thanx, Billy, for saving it and keeping it's existence important. The museum's lookin good. Will have to make my way there to see it. Proud of you guys. Take care.
Amazing Billy.
It's so crazy 🤪 it's still here.
Thanks Billy xxx 💝
I already knew if Billy Stallings put it in their museum the homework was already air tight.
Thank You Stephen!!
Amazing! Glad to hear that you will just do a minor restoration to make it whole. I hope I get to see it in person some day.
Good morning hour work is vídeo de leart a lot about Elvis... every detail...photos....images..., places we're Elvis hos been ...congratulations.... send.. hello tô brazil.. we Love Elvis. When possíble comments on a RUclips vídeo where Elvis appears "interesting comparasion"..

I believed it from day one. But good to hear it from an expert.
Me too!
So glad you were able to have the ambulance verified and authenticated for all those doubting Thomas's. Thank you so much for all you do. And thanks to the firedepartment historian..
Very Very Cool Spa Guy. Great Work Finding That Ambulance. Another Piece To The Elvis Puzzle.
Excellent video for the confirmation of the ambulance! Wish I could get to Memphis, but its unlikely. So glad you do all these videos so we can see all that we cant visit in person.
Great content, I think it should be restored to its former glory for everyone to enjoy how it was back in the day Elvis was alive.
Billy you are the only guy in the world who finds things like this. You are totally unique!! Bert from the Netherlands
Thank you Billy and Thank you Spa Guy. It amazing and to redo with adding what was took out is a awsome Journey to have redone. 🇺🇸❤

We do not allow Photos of the Ambulance..
There was no doubt in my mind Billy you were telling the truth as we always say Tighten up my friend TCB 🇨🇦👑🇺🇸⚡️
Thank You Tom!!
This is great that you are preserving history. The reason fire apparatus is in good shape, is because they are kept inside a building til they go on a call.
This is Awesome SpaGuy!
You leave no stone uncovered.
We are finding more all of the time.. You would think there is nothing left..
Great work you have saved a very important piece of Elvis history sad but important I hope one day I get to visit it from 🇮🇪 Ireland . Taking Care of Buisness yet again Bill .
Thanks for adding this to your video lineup. It was very interesting on this historical event. I am so glad somebody saved it.

I miss those old Cadillac limo style ambulances. Thanks for your hard work Spa Guy!
So much thanks to Bill 😊🙏 ⚡SG TCB ⚡
That is absolutely amazing that you found that. Very impressive. I know a minor restoration would be good, but I myself with it being such an amazing find would be willing to do a full restoration to how it looked in 1977. That would be amazing.
Love this video can not wait to visit the museum hopeful real soon
What a barn find. Can’t wait to see it one day 👍
Been enjoying all the tidbits about Elvis that in decades I had never heard or known. Graceland channel as well.
Another interesting video! Thank you again Spa Guy!
Absolutely incredible Billy!!!!! OMGosh
Wow that's incredible to see. This gives me goose bumps. So that was the ambulance that gave Elvis his last ride. I bet he's in Heaven looking down and smiling. I'll definitely be there to see it and, hope to meet you Billy. Thanks for confirming it. You can fix the ambulance to working order but, please don't totally restore it.

I’m loving all of the ambulance info. I’m busting at the seams because I’m so happy you got your hands on it. Very special if you truly love Elvis!
Wow!! Epic!! Just added seeing it to my bucket list!
Thank you 😊

Fantástico como indagais y averiguais prácticamente todo sobre Elvis, me encanta como siempre y muchas gracias por los subtitulos 😊 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

The name Presley is supposed to originate in Scotland as well and I believe his family tree has descendants from Scotland. 👍
On the list to film..
Awesome can't wait to see it. Congrats Billy on getting it.
Would love to see that fully restored to elvis transport period !!!!!!! Great history. Grew up loving everything elvis. Great videos
Awesome!!! Great work hunting it down!!!
Billy, you have connection with Elvis' first ride and Elvis' last ride! How many can say that? Awesome. Thank you!
His last one alive would be the car he drove home the night before, and his last one after death would be whatever was used to transport him from the mausoleum back to Graceland for final burial a couple months later.

The Historian advised me not to restore it and he restores fire apparatus..
As anyone that restores vehicles will tell you “they are only original once”. There will be a time and a place to restore it in the future..
Don’t restore it[I know your not]… it will only be original once . because of it’s original significance in regards to Elvis Presley it would be a huge mistake to repaint or do any other major modifications.
