Definitely the baddest P-40 out there today. 8) God help it from falling into the hands of a wealthy AVG fanatic!

As long as they don't paint it bright pink with long eyelashes I'm good with it...

times must be tough - look at the 2 bearcats, Tigercat, P-47 and this P-40 all up for sale. And yes, I'd give a bodypart for any one of 'em.

Who'd want it? After all, the area under the rear windows is the wrong color. 8)

My girlfreind loves P-40s, and I'm a fan of Jugs (go figger.) I suggested we buy the pair, but since I lost my job last week I can't quite scrape up the necessary cash.

Maybe he will use the money on another one. He has an E-model as well. Not sure about it's airworthiness.
