There are only a few major collections with the funding to go after something like this.
I wonder who is missing an A-20, who'd really like one. Especially what must be a combat vet.
Unfortunately, A-20's are not very desirable to most museums and individuals. Several A-20's have been on the open market for long periods of time. Asking prices have also been very low - much lower than one would think given its rarity. Even now, there is a virtually complete A-20 project that's been on the open market for about 5 years that has not sold. It can be restored to either static or flying condition by the future buyer.
I'm guessing that the rarity of parts, single pilot operation, the lack of many passengers, and it's lack of historical importance given it's big brother, the B-25 has, all make the A-20 not very desirable to most people.
I love the A-20, even more than the B-25, but most people would probably disagree with me.
