The auction website Gunbroker.com has a listing for a Messerschmitt Me 163b rocket interceptor, with an opening bid of $650,000 and a Buy it Now price of $975,000. The photos seem to show a legit Me 163… there’s some damage. Tail’s a bit of a mess.
So if you have the better part of a million dollars and want your very own rocket fighter… well, hell, why not? Airmail from Germany, might be a bit pricy, but if you can afford the rocket fighter, you can afford the shipping. hell, you can also afford to toss a couple dozen grand my way, just for grins…
