      +Shayan Hussain Honestly, there's probably no price for these kind of machines. I doubt there's what you could call a market for them, and best way to eventually get an idea would be to check auctions, in case some random WWI fighter engined "supercar" shows up. But as you can see on RM/Sotheby's listing for cars from 1900 to 1920, price range is all over the place.
