Elvis Presley Was Here. See Inside Ambulance - Footage NEVER BEFORE SEEN
ฝัง

- In this episode there is no commentary. It is a video and photo exploration of the Elvis ambulance that was lost, but has been found, and is currently in Tigerman Dojo museum. This is the first time you have seen some parts of the ambulance. But the video does not do it justice. You need to go to the museum and see it live.
This is a rare behind the scenes interview series with Elvis Presley historian and TH-camr Billy Stallings, who goes by "The Spa Guy." Missing for decades, Billy was able to find and acquire the ambulance that carried Elvis Presley from Graceland to Baptist hospital the day he died. Before placing the ambulance in a museum, The Spa Guy cleaned it up. While cleaning it, he agreed to be interviewed. Normally Stallings is telling stories and asking questions from behind the camera. But for these episodes, he is the person of interest.

He is always on my mind...
Love seeing this about elvis
God Bless them they tried so hard to safe him.
He was already dead before the ambulance ride
@Spaguy @MMK and @GoodStuff Excellent Job my friends!! "Family n friends is what its truly all about not anything else." To me this shows that E.P. was only human. Its actually somewhat closure knowing Elvis's last ambulance ride 2 Baptist Hospital that "Marion Cocke" was the head nurse of all those years. "Our Southern Boy Elvis is one of the things us true Southerners r proud of here in the south." From N. C.myself.!! To everyone who helped in this Fantastic Event @Thetigerdobro !!" "I am Very Greatful to everyone and Excited at the same time for the Opening of the Museum!! @Spaguy So glad u tightened up, my friend!! "Omgosh, almost forgot that the real Elvis Blood Family Jo, Billy, Danny, n Joey Smith will b there to, to talk wt all the Elvis Family!! What more could u ask for.?" "God is Good."👀😁💪🤘⚡❤⚡😎
Elvis was already gone by the time he got into this ambulance. Such a tragedy.
I would love to hear it run.
Great 👍.
thanks friend for putting this video together this ambulance needed saving glad you saw the prodject and putting on show for us all to see take care from england
Very cool
Thanks again for sharing this series. Spa Guy is right on . . . keep the ambulance as is, not in restored condition. You restore it, you remove the energy.
Thank you for the kind comments. I hope to do more interviews with The Spa Guy if it is something folks would enjoy.
@GoodStuff Yes that would Great!! @Spaguy tightened up big time on this labor of love! I'm just Excited!! Yayyyyy...😁😉😎🤘⚡❤⚡✌
They did restoration on the Hank Williams death car and it didn’t change any of the ambiance or historical significance of the vehicle. I’d like to see the ambulance close to what it looked like in 1977
Sadly Elvis never saw the inside of the ambulance, He was gone long before his trip to Baptist Memorial.
As most of us know he rode in this ambulance more than one time bc of his stays in the hospital. I would bet that Dodger, and Vernon rode in it, n Aunt Delta too.!?
@@famous21me - There's no reason to assume that Elvis ever had seen this ambulance before, or ever really ridden in any ambulance as a patient.
His earlier hospital stays were not critical emergency situations, they were outpatient situations where you go to get admitted at a much more casual pace and arrive in your own vehicle or someone else's.
By just watching this video it's very emotional for me I really love Elvis ....I feel Elvis Energy in this ambulance altough it is said he was already gone by the time the ambulance arrrived .I can sense his energy storngly here....I also sense him in certain Graceland pics n videos I view ..Elvis energy was and still is powerful
I spent many hours in the back of an ambulance as a Firefighter/Paramedic for over 35+ years. Now retired and Don’t miss it a bit! Thanks for the tour. Very familiar with all the items on the red stickers on the cabinets!
I like this behind the scene episode.
Thank you, ma'am.
New subscriber here. Interesting and a bit eerie! 👍🏻
Thank you. And that sums it up.
I love the Spa Guys channel. He has great Elvis info.
Elvis has left the Ambulance. 😬
At 6:45 in the video I thought of every live image of Elvis in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We all go away.
I thank you spa guy for finding this piece of history. I’m a former EMS guy and I often wondered if this unit was still in existence. Man you found a piece of history!! If it were me I’d get it running and get lights working and leave it as it is, but it’s yours to decide that.
WELL GREAT JOB I LOVE THIS, I GOT TO SAY IT'S PRETTY GOOD LIKE IT WAS ON AUGUST 16 1977
I'm guessing the gurney that was used for Elvis could still possibly be in use. Been in the funeral home business now for 38 years and we still have gurneys from the fifties and sixties that we use they were built to last. Oh they may not be being used by the Memphis fire department anymore but they're out there being used possibly at a funeral home or nursing facility extra
First I heard Charlie Hodge was in the ambulance, did not know that
Esposito said in an interview that he and Dr. Nick, and Hodge went to the hospital with Elvis. The way he said it, I assumed that meant they traveled together in the ambulance.
I still can't believe it was not destroyed as a junkyard
The hearse was tho
@@Jleed989 that one caught fire.
This cool stuff to see I wonder what the mikes were on this when Elvis was in it and the miles when it was taken out of order? Now all spa guy has to do is now find the hurst elvis was in if it’s still somewhere
The fire department even named it the Elvis unit
Love this thank you so much. Very special indeed. Amazing work Spa Guy.
I like to think because he was accompanied on his journey,that they still believed and hoped for the best outcome,but this is a miracle of a find in itself,well done Spa Guy and to Good Stuff on great work.
Those are things I've herd on the tv series "Emergency!" several tinea which i now have the complete series. "Saline" with various numbers & "D Five W".
I happen to agree with Spa Guy that it makes a far more interesting story keeping the ambulance in its present, untampered, non-restored condition...
Agreed, people aren’t going to see a 1975 ambulance, they are going to see the vehicle that carried Elvis.
I enjoyed seeing Billy cleaning it. That was fun
Lovely addition to this series. The photo show came across quite chilling just thinking not only about Elvis in this ambulance, but also about countless others who may have already been deceased or those that passed in this vehicle. Like I said, chilling. Thanx for uploading this and thanx to Billy for finding this gem. Looking forward to the next vid. Take care.
Imagine if you found the gurney the original
I was thinking about that when I was editing this. Do you think it is still out there?
@@GoodStuffVideos man who only know's but can you only imagine not only finding the ambulance but the Gurney that went to that ambulance.. that would probably be a harder find then the ambulance self but you never know.. thanks for the reply I enjoy you and Spa guys content on this topic.. ron aka beard
@@GoodStuffVideos if the spar guy finds that I truly believe he can find absolutely anything in this world about elvis that's out there because that would truly be a needle in a hay stack if it's out there he will find it I have no doubt about that I just can't believe he found this ambulance incredible
@@markperkins8858 - That definitely would be like a needle in a haystack.
Gurneys are treated like other interchangeable items for an ambulance, like the tubes connecting equipment or the fire extinguishers, and any other gear not part of the actual body of the vehicle... They get rotated out for maintenance or full replacement over time.
This ambulance was still in service right through the 1980s, so it probably went through numerous gurneys that whole time.
The only way that that exact gurney would be traceable would be if the department or someone at the hospital marked it as being the one, and even then they'd have to have kept track of while it was still being used, and then set it aside for keeping. It's not impossible but not too likely.
this will become a little too morbid! im glad the saved the vehiche but we dont need to becomme obsessed
The dojo was great
Nossa ainda tá em tacta ambulância que carregou ele
@3:18 is that Elvis’ boa constrictor in the plexiglass shield?
I can neither confirm nor deny. The legend grows. LOL
😢
At least part of your cleanup video should be running in the museum along with the ambulance and how Billy found it.. It is interesting and part of it’s history.
I'd be happy if they want to run the series in a loop. Feel free to suggest it to The Spa Guy. Thank you for the kind comment. 😉
I don’t know how they had enough room inside there for all those people.
He was already gone when they took him away 💔 his soul is home at peace 🙏
The showing of the VIN of the chassis proves it was both a Chevrolet originally and a 1975 model chassis. The VIN is 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 rated, 3 for cab and chassis only, 5 for 1975 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. It appears to have aftermarket air conditioning added for the chassis since the lower control panel doesn't have an AC setting.
Google man! You get around! From Benny’s junkyard finds to get Elvis Unit, no VIN escapes your scrutiny
@@cookphire Yup, lol. You need the VIN to win....
He should have never been in there back then. Interesting sure but having it displayed not so sure.. I'd rather see a great Elvis on tour 2022 release.
It's because of Spa guy and your videos that my mom wants to go back to Memphis again.. She wants to see this ambulance in person..
Thanks for sharing..
That's awesome. Make sure you mention it to Billy. I'm sure he would be glad to meet her. Tell her "Hello."
Do The engine work
Greatings from sveden
Well someone needs to get out more!!! ( And not in an ambulance either)
That is priceless it's all original Thank you for to the people that saved it
Hi
Good to see 👍🙏🏼⭐️⭐️💙
Dang no electronic federal siren left. Probably had the 3rd "alert" switch position.
Reading comments like no value, who cares? That only shows who the real fans are and who aren’t . In the history of Elvis and Rock N Roll this vehicle played a huge roll and I want to see it. I’ve seen videos of it for 40 years and now Billy Stallings, the best Elvis historian has found it! Great job Billy! I tried to find the white hearse back about 30 years ago, I can only imagine the comments about it if it wasn’t crushed after the fire.
Did they get it runing b4 it went to museum?
No.
@@GoodStuffVideos shame been nice to hear it tun over b4 it got locked away.
So a Q, of that historical day ... who of the duty crew are still alive and with us present day, and what would be a full "kit out" circa 1977 inside the back look like ... just pondering this ???
Both of the responding paramedics are deceased. Never have heard much about the other crew they worked with at the station.
How come their is no meds in their at all . Ok they will be out of date but . But I’d thought their be a few in their
I think you should keep it as it is a part of history although very sad it was his last ride on his way to heaven
Actually his last ride was in the hearse. It’s unfortunate that that vehicle has been lost forever
He was dead before he was even in the ambulance
Did they discontinue using that ambulance immediately after Elvis (probably literally) died in it?
I’ve been told by my granny on my grandpa’s side that Elvis was his cousin (I don’t know much about my grandpa he died in 76) but finding out that Elvis is my 5th cousin is pretty neat for some reason seeing the ambulance i feel a connection in some ways. May have to take a trip to Memphis and see it next time we go to see family
Are you going to right a book now that ur grand brothers uncle is related to elvis lol
Restore It!
What's up
Was elvis last one to be in the ambulsnce
I was 17 working on a tractor, when I heard it on 103 Memphis,
Call it elvis the last ride
We all love 😍 elvis..
oh spa guy this is amazing been following you for a long time now love your videos I wish you and the smith family all the best of luck with your elvis museum and everyone else who is involved what a wonderful thing youz are doing love to you an the smith family one day am going to visit Graceland and your fabulous museum am all the way from England in a city called Liverpool 💙
They should put a plaque nearby What's the family's name that saved it
Elvis never seen the inside just his body was there. They would have not tried to revive him by the time they got there he had been dead for hrs and they would have done noticed that in the house and new by the time they loaded him up he was gone. The weird thing to me is why the EMS crew wouldn’t talk about it not even to the other firemen. As a firefighter that is just weird.
I agree.
As to the question of WHY the Paramedics did Not talk about their experiences on that Day...well, the most probable answer must be that the Presley Family, Graceland Estate attornies or some other very influential mover/fixer person(s) that were related to Elvis...they must have compelled the paramedics--fac to face--to Never repeat anything about what they saw, did, heard and felt during that sad last call when they were trying to revive Elvis.
Just my best guess (also using the principle of Occam's Razor)
@@jonathandeeb2587 - Actually, has anyone ever really tried tracking down the surviving members of that particular fire station crew to ask what the guys responding might have related to them? We know they never did interviews about it or wrote any books but I don't think there's ever been anything established that they literally never talked about it in personal conversations.
@@jonathandeeb2587 paid off to keep their mouths shut
Just out of interest, the first time or anytime being around this vehicle have you found it emotional?
I personally did not get emotional. But it is not uncommon for others to walk around in shock or even tesr up,, which is not uncommon.
@@GoodStuffVideos items like this are fascinating. It’s great to see it being looked after. I’m from the U.K. and a Beatles fan and have visited the spot where John Lennon was shot a few times and on my 2nd visit I was over come with emotion and cried my eyes out, out of nowhere really.
Thanks for the reply
It must have been crowded with 5-6 people in the back.
Sorry for errors, talk texting messes up proper english
Mack said different two cops got out of the ambulance
My dad built this ambulance
Really?!?
@@GoodStuffVideos no
He was dead hours before he was ever transported,, but they tried
Where is the RCA Van
LORD DOES THIS BRING BACK MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if elvis's spirit is in the ambulance today who knows anything is possible
I knew when i seen the video of you finding the ambulance you would take it under your wing!!!!!
Where is this museum located? Very interesting and sad but thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching. The museum is located at 3217 Lucibill Road, Memphis, TN 38116
th-cam.com/video/mVmseHgcaSE/w-d-xo.html
He was dead long before being loaded up.
Next episode: Leaf from Graceland found blowing in wind.......who cares???????
Then why are you here? You must care
Did anybody say how much it cost him to get this piece of history r what
No.
I think it should be restored to its former Glory to look like it did the day it transported Elvis. To let it just rust away would be a shame.
It won't rust away now. :)
i think it should be restored... but in a while.... let’s soak up the history, but it needs to be restored
Man that old crate must stink
🎃?????
This my not be the place for me to post this but I am...I hope we all are learing to save history so I hope Michael Jackson's heritage is preserved
Pourquoi s être débarrasser/cacher cet ambulance ? S ils ont rien à cacher. Quand c est clean, tout est dit.
Be interesting to get the ambulance to at least run if engine not siezed. Put equipment back in it.
THIS AMBULANCE WOULD BE WAY MORE SIGNIFICANT IF ELVIS' BODY WAS THE LAST ONE HAULED IN IT. SO, I JUST DONT SEE THIS AS A MAJOR MUSEUM ATTRACTION IN AND OF ITSELF.
Thank you to the police officer that saved it
it won’t be original for long if some rich tacky yahoo gets a hold of it
It is rather frightening how this guy in his body still warship Elvis, I don’t find it that interesting that they found a van that he was driven to the hospital and is it just me? LOL I mean really it’s kind of sad that you follow a dead man around like that
Sorry you feel like that About spyguy, he is not just researching any man its elvis presley the man who brought us rock roll.. Don't come on this vid to say things you don't know about....
I guess I WARSHIP him too. Or are we talking about the USS Missouri?
@@Jleed989 I really don't know what you are trying to say...
Gee, 247,000 miles on the clock. This old girl has been around the block and then some I’d say. But if the provenance is proved and solid, this is a find alright. When this truck is properly cleaned, have the trucks emergency lights replaced and working. Also, the original siren too. Find an exact replica gurney to put in it. Have the trucks headlights working too, but THATS IT! Nothing else! The engine does not need to run. This piece is a time capsule. Treat it as such. Whatever you folks do, DO NOT include an Elvis maniquin! Keep it very respectful. Good Luck.👍😁🇦🇺
Personally I don’t agree with these videos on the ambulance. Why would we want to see the ambulance that carried Elvis to hospital. Bad taste in my opinion and grim to say the least
Some parts of history are grim. But we can learn even from those parts.
I doubt it is the ambalance, Where's the proof of authentication?
You clearly haven't watched the videos.
My lord,At least paint the damn thing. That’s about on the level of the car Bonney and Clyde were killed in.Elvis deserves better.If you had Elvis Stutz would you show it all rusted out,broken windows,4 different tires??He place of death should be held in high regard.Not a schrine. But not a ghoulish place just to see where he died. It would be like Baptist hospital closing the treatment room right after he died now open it up and everyone can see we’re died. Hey it’s all yours whatever twirls your Beany.
It is a higher level than Bonnie and Clyde. The Ambulance is cleaned up, but at this point the museum directors want it to remain in aged condition to show the history. And the owner explained the thought process in the first episode.
Nah.
No absolutely not!
Hate to brake the bad news to u but Bonnie and Clyde dont have shit on Elvis my friend ...lol..ofrlmao
@@GoodStuffVideos I can understand that 100%. Just seems like it should be held in high regard like a hearse. You can get it wrapped in vinyl with all the same markings. Don’t need to do any body work. They can do it in 2-3 days. Down the road it can all come off. I know Spaguy said some day he’d like to drive it. Wasn’t meant to be disrespectful sorry. I appreciate your reply. and speaking civilized . Have a good summer.
This is nice ...but hmm there were so many others deaths bodies that passed through this ambulance lol..still just to think Elvis was there it just super interesting
Elvis is still living...he was spotted
At the waffle house in Cincinnati
They have CCTV footage this is
Not a hoax !!!!!!!!
This ambalance holds no value, he was dead when he was hauled a short distance in this shagg wagon ,nothing special about it at all , when you loose touch with reality over something like this you are insane
I would respectfully disagree with your suggestion that value is only attached to the living. Elvis has generated more value since he passed than he ever did while alive. Also, history has an incredible amount of value. But I appreciate you taking the time to engage.
Totally agree...I mean who cares???
elvis aint dead
I'm sorry Elvis never died they put a wax figurine in a casket his nose is not right they messed up on his name he is the groundskeeper of his own property look into it he is not dead he went through the hospital because he got tired of the fans and then now he came up with a scheme to get rid of himself once and for all us Elvis now he is the groundskeeper of his property and he still has his wife she ain't saying a word
Oh, I heard that a UFO landed and took him away. And BTW, did you know that the moon landing was faked?
