How many P-51 restoration projects / canidates out there ?

Fri Oct 09, 2015 8:42 pm

I've always wondered how many P-51 projects are still left out there? Be it almost complete wreck remains sitting in a old hangar or warehouse, maybe a fuselage sitting in a jig for the last 30 years with no hope of being reunited with a set of wings again due to financial demands.

I would love to find a project I could have restored over the next few years. Are there many projects like this around still?

I've heard a rumor of a long lost Cavalier Mustang in Texas that hasn't bee touched since the 70's. It still has a red vinyl interior and shag carpet on it's dash and is in a ratty old T-hangar with just a few inches between the prop and door and the wings and walls. The owner doesn't want to sell or do anything with it.
