Two private airplanes that once belonged to legendary rock star Elvis Presley are now on sale and could disappear by 2015 from the late singer’s Graceland mansion, where they have been on display for the last 30 years.

Both planes appeared this week on the aircraft sales website Controller with their descriptions and specifications.

The lisa Marie, a 1960 Convair 880 named after Elvis’s only daughter, is a four-engine airplane with a private bedroom, a stereo system and a bathroom with gold fittings. Hound Dog II, a JetStar, was used as a substitute aircraft while the lisa Marie was being remodelled to suit the likings of the King.
