Expect to pay up to $2M for a flyable one.  For a static that is in museum-display condition:  $100K AT LEAST.

Cash in that oil stock....

Answer 4

Do you have $500,000 or more to buy one? That's what they cost in non-flying condition, usually 1 million or more in flying condition. Unless you can get one out of Honduras or El Salvador, they may have a few left from their war with each other in the 1960's, using those planes against each other. But not many left around to buy. Nice dream, though.
