Elvis' "Lisa Marie" and "Hound Dog II" jets for sale

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/31/sh...ale/?hpt=hp_t3

The "Lisa Marie" is notable in that it's an ex-Delta Convair 880 (1960), the only one in the world in a preserved condition. It hasn't flown since it was installed at Graceland in 1984.

The CV-880 was intended to be a faster competitor to the 707 and DC-8, but never caught on. Only 65 were produced.

Apparently Graceland doesn't own the jet and is just displaying it on behalf of the owner, but the contract has expired. Since it's not in flyable condition, I don't know how you'd move it. It would be a shame to cut it up.
