Do you want to buy some parts of the Concorde?
The only Supersonic passenger aircraft to enter commercial service and a beautiful aircraft was retired a few years ago. Now they are going to auction off parts of the aircraft. If you'd like to bid on something or just see what's up for bid, go here http://www.concorde-encheres.com/

You do realise that there were more than one, at least I hope you do.

If I can't have a whole one, what's the point? It would make a lovely high-altitude pie bomber. :)

More than one Concord, yes. They were the only SST to enter commercial service. The Russians built two but they never entered commercial service.

Actually, they built 16 TU-144s and they were used in commercial service for 55 passenger flights plus another 47 cargo flights ending in '78. After that, they were used as high-altitidue labratories. One of the last 144s later became a testbed (joint IBPAerospace/NASA/Rockwell/Boeing effort), redeigning the aircraft to the 144LL spec to test designs for the next generation SST. It flew 27 additional flights before the project was scrapped due to lack of funding and lack of business interest.

I'd take a few pieces, why not? It'd be neat to have a piece of a landmark plane. :)
