Two private planes owned by Elvis Presley – the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II – are going up for auction.<\/p>\n

The Lisa Marie, named after his daughter, was bought by Presley in 1975 and refurbished to include a master suite with full-size bed and conference room.<\/p>\n

Neither plane is airworthy but have been on display at Graceland for more than 30 years for fans to tour.<\/p>\n

They are being auctioned off by Julien’s by sealed bids.<\/p>\n

Presley bought the Convair 880 jet in 1975, two years before his death, and spent about $300,000, refitting it and renaming the Lisa Marie. It also features a bathroom with gold taps and a stereo system with 50 speakers.<\/p>\n

The tail is adorned with Presley’s trademark TCB for Taking Care of Business.<\/p>\n

The last flight it took was to transport his former wife Priscilla Presley and actor George Hamilton to his funeral.<\/p>\n

It was sold by his father, Vernon, in 1978, and had two owners before being bought by a consortium in a joint venture with the owners of Graceland to allow it to be displayed at the tourist hotspot.<\/p>\n

The agreement with the owners and Graceland expires in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Hound Dog II, a Lockheed JetStar, was bought in 1975 as a stopgap while the Lisa Marie was being prepared. It arrived at Graceland in 1984.<\/p>\n

The planes are being sold as one lot, with the option to buy land next to Graceland to display them, independent of the Presley Museum.<\/p>\n
