The PV-2s on ebay aren't getting any attention because they are WAY overpriced. Essentially these are aircraft that need a ground-up rebuild. The one with engines is maybe worth 30k. The ex-tanker airplanes are very tired..and there are a bunch sitting around at Arizona, Wyoming, and California.

Lets face it, the PV-2 doesn't have the same immediate recognition or fame that the B-25 has. If those four aircraft were B-25s they wouldn't be sitting there as they would have been bought by a collector years and years before.

There are at least three PV-2s undergoing rebuild around the country. The next few years should see some interesting restorations hit the airshow circuit.
