Here's a project for the aspiring aircraft restorer.
It's an ex-German Air Force F-86 Sabre (or remains thereof) currently listed on Ebay for a mere £6,500 ($7,900).

This F86F Sabre CL13B C/N. 56-1730 is offered for sale due to my forth coming retirement together with lack of time and space.
Formerly displayed outside the officers mess at Jever, it was collected by me last year from Germany where it had lain for several years in a farm yard.
The offer consists of the fuselage (separated at the engine change joint) together with the tail/stabilisers/rudder and canopy frame with a good Perspex to be fitted.
As can be seen from photos whilst in the yard it sustained some skin damage.
When it was taken down from its display pole it was derigged rather brutally due to time constraints, so there are no wings (cut at the centre section) and the tail torque tubes were cut through.
THIS IS ONE OF ONLY FOUR F86s in the UK. So as such can only appreciate in value.
BiB: REALLY?

Ebay listing.
