Never mind having the money to buy it, actually getting ownership once you pay, and then getting it to the US...
Does anyone here think the FAA would ever sign off on something like that? :lol:

Look at some the photos further down it looks like someone took a sawzaw and cut the cockpit off.

My guess is that it is the museum's aircraft. The pictures look to be at least a couple of other aircraft getting cut up, although, if you read the description, it kind of sounds like they are only selling the engines?
I'd bet on it being a scam....although it would be cool to see one flying over here. I'd also bet that getting it out of there would be extremely expensive...with lots of "payments" made to "grease the wheels".

Y'know, we all see listings like this, impossible items with insane pricetags, in highly questionable places in the middle of nowhere.
Do things like this really sell at all?
