From unreleased Bob Dylan song lyrics to Willie Nelson’s braids to John Lennon’s “Paperback Writer” guitar, it’s been an interesting few months for rock memorabilia on the auction block. That trend looks to continue in 2015 as a few more rare music-related items will go to a winning bidder: Elvis Presley’s private planes and a suede vest worn by Janis Joplin.
Julien’s Auctions is offering Presley’s private planes, the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II. Prior to hitting the sealed bid auction block, both planes had been on display at Graceland for over 30 years. However, the current operators of Graceland asked the planes’ owners to remove the aircrafts by April 2015.
Both aircrafts are for display only, meaning the winning bidders won’t actually be able to cruise the skies like Presley had decades earlier, although the interiors have been preserved. Sealed bids for Elvis’ private planes must be submitted by February 2nd.
