Antarctica DC-3 Salvage Operation

This salvage operation must have cost some big dollars. A turbo DC-3, C-GEAJ, crashed in Antarctica on January 5, 2009. A team from Kenn Borek Air was then flown in to bring it home.

I would like to know the answer to that question as well. Anybody here know what a brand new PT6 is worth? Nobody seems to want to spit out an actual number on the internet.
