DHAKA: Elvis Presley's last two jets, the "Lisa Marie" and "Hound Dog II," are for sale.

The four-engine "Lisa Marie" features a queen-size bed, gold bathroom fixtures, a videotape system with four TVs and a stereo system with 52 speakers, according to an ad posted on an aviation sales website this week, reports CNN.

The smaller "Hound Dog II" JetStar was Presley's back-up plane, flown while "Lisa Marie" was remodeled to suit Elvis' tastes, the ad said.

These planes represent the epitome of 1975 rock star luxury, but if you buy them don't expect to fly them.

"They're both museum pieces," said K.G. Coker, the Memphis man who bought them after Presley's 1977 death. They've not been flown since they were parked at the tourist entrance to Presley's Graceland mansion in 1984.

Coker's ad doesn't set a price, but it he is looking for "serious offers."
