TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — The new year will bring a new home for the Lisa Marie and the Hound Dog Two as the personal jets of Elvis Presley go on the auction block. Juliens Auctions of Beverly Hills is now taking bids on both of the jets.

The most famous of the pair is the Lisa Marie that’s the jet Elvis bought in 1975 for $250,000 and spent another $600,000 refurbishing. The Convair 880 has gold fixtures, a stereo throughout the plane and an interior you would expect from Elvis.

The other plane is a smaller jet called Hound Dog two. Presley bought it to travel in while the Lisa Marie was being reworked.

Both planes are currently at Graceland and have been open for tours but a deal to keep the jets at the Presley mansion fell through and they must be sold and removed by April.
