I saw on Facebook where Kermit Week's very long term restoration of his P-51A has made some progress thru Airmotive out in California. Kermit's is the only one I know of that is even being worked on as far as Restorations. You have Planes of Fame with there P-51A. Also a guy out in Kansas has the late Moon Spillers P-51A which was reworked by Pacific Fighters. I had the privilege of flying in Polar Bear when Moon owned it way back in 1987. Are there any others out there? The P-51A is a rare Mustang.

Has Gerry Becks “homebuilt” P-51A been restored? I thought I read that they were working on it.

At one time there was talk of parts from an Allison-engined Mustang recovered from the Moscow area being used as the basis of a restoration in California. I've not heard any updates recently though.

Another potential project for someone that has the desire (and maybe a few extra dollars too)?

That last seller is Dusty Dowd, the current owner of the former Polar Bear.

For fun, hit the button for "Show all ads posted by this advertiser". That tells you a lot about Dusty. Along with all this, I believe Gary Austin leased his Cassutt from Dusty, Dusty has a bunch of them.
