Sorry, I didn't know where else to ask this question and since I'm new to this I thought this looked to be the place.
If I wished to go out and purchase a flyable, pristine WWII F4U Vought Corsair where would I look and how much would the price tag of such an item be?
Thanks for any and all help.
I wish I could do that too but don't have a million bucks 'til my next paycheck.
If you're serious about this, there are several magazines like "Warbirds" that, I think, have classifieds.
You might try this website if you are serious about this. I have not had a chance to look at it. As far as the price I would just be guessing but, and if I'm wrong someone please correct me, 2 or 3 million is probably on the low side, maybe even to low.

Well now.
Go to the nearest air show,
and ask at the gate which Corsairs are for sale!
Planes are so simple....... damned helicopter builds!

Just parts alone would become expensive. He better have deep pockets or a magic lamp if he is really serious.

If you do buy one definitely post it!
Don't know any F4Us for sale. Last I heard was about 2 years ago. Only "reasonable" fighter war bird (less than a million) I know of is the Yak 3. Here is a link:
N854DP YAK 3M Specs
One thing, buying isn't the same as being able to fly it. The last of the Piston engined fighters were very high powered, tricky airplanes to fly. It takes a lot of practice and training. But, if you have the money, you'll be able to afford it.
A year ago Courtesy listed an F4U in recent pristine restoration status for a little over 2 Million. Also try this link for Warbird sales Warbirds for Sale, Vintage Aircraft for Sale, Aircraft Sale
Oh brother, another one of these...

Okay. Reluctantly, I must break out the shovel.

Pillage, then burn.
Argue not with dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well on toast.

Just curious, I see from TwoEagles's link, they had an A-26 for sale, but no price listed. Does anyone know if there have been any US twins sold lately? Marauder, Mitchell, Invader etc.
Are they worth about $3 - $4 million?
GLobal Plane Search has several A-26's for sale ranging form $125k to $500k
There is an He 115 project listed that I would kill for.
