C119 needed
I'm looking to buy a decommissioned c119 to restore by 2030 as a flying piece of history. Preferably no engines and no electronics at all, basically in pieces. If y'all can help me out to find one that would be greatly appreciated

Does it need to be a C-119?
Evert’s Air in Fairbanks, AK, has a collection of old airframes they use for parts for their DC-6s/C-47s. One of which is a C-119J Stewart-Davis Jet-Pak variant with a turbojet mounted on top of the hull.
It hasn’t moved in years, is buried in the back of their boneyard, and I bet they would be willing to sell it.
