In the 1940's, US fighters cost about $50k-$100k (depending on model).  That is $600k-$1.3M in 2011 dollars.

So, rarity and lack of large-scale production seems to give a few times price increase.

Anybody know what a Pilates pc-9 goes for? Am I correct in assuming that a turboprop cost less per hour than a Merlin? During the war does anyone know how many hours you would get between overhauls? Isn't the math on airplanes something like 40 percent engine 10 percent airframe 70 percent panel?
