There is a lot of difference between having engines and being airworthy. Unless you're looking at something like a B707, DC8 or geriatric B747 whereas you might find one still flying (maybe a freighter) that is ready for retirement, then to get a 'museum piece' airworthy is going to cost a packet, look at what Qantas went through to get the B707 out of Southend last year.
