Waahhh NICE 
Precisely the way I would want mine to be.
http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/N286JB%20P-51%20Spec.htm
Exterior: Highly polished skin with USAF markings
Interior: Zinc chromate finish with Black panel and natural wood floor boards, original style
I don't like the Cavalier conversion, it's too neat and fluffy.
Also don't like the look of the TF-51 canopy.
This one is perfect!

Isn't $1.3M a little on the low side for such a nice machine?

Question
Thu Jul 06, 2006 2:58 pm
It seems that many flying P-51s have been
refitted with wheels and brakes from P-63s.
Outside of an obvious but informationless
answer like "they are better", why is that?

Since the ad say it''s a Commonwealth built machine and doesn't say what catagory it's lisensed has would it be safe to assume experimental????

I kinda like that P-39N-5 project! Cool! Could this P-39 be one that was at Geneseo back in the day?
And "Naked Fany" is for sale!
I've seen her many times!

Limited. It's registered as 45-11483.

Note how the seat has been cut and spliced right down the middle to narrow it for clearance with the rear rudder pedals. I wonder if a standard seat pack parachute can still be used in front?
You can also see how the rear rudder pedal cables clamp onto the stock ones.

I think it's a case of availability and price to be honest... there aren't many P-63's around to use up the spares. Does anyone know differently?

Ahhh.... 483.... this was the first Mustang that I remember seeing at local airshows! Use to see it all the time here in the Dallas area and I ended up with MANY pictures of it. Even saw Bob Hoover do a display in it one time because his yellow Mustang was down. Hope to follow it to see who the new owner is.

The P-63 brakes are bigger and there are more parts around, I think. Question, when I went to the Courtesy web page, I didn't see this one listed?? Where or where is it on there web page?

Well, the Lotto 6/49 is slated for $21 Mil here Saturday night here in Canada, so I guess I'll just have to get me a ticket or two. That other '51 wouldn't be bad either since it used to fly out of the CWH in Hamilton as Dennis Bradley's "Old Boy"; it'd be nice to bring her back to Canada.
