The P-51 is NOT built from parts. It is the former 360, painted as 336. The only survivor of some 30 Mustangs that saw service there. There have been people through the years that have corrupted local officials and have managed to buy parts from that airplane.
It is considered a national asset and as such, not for sale.
Inside the airport, there is a Douglas B-26, a few C-47s, a T-6G (formerly from Uruguay, but painted in fake FAG-209 markings) a T-33, hulks of Arava Israeli-built transports, Pilatus PC-7s.
In the same street outside of the Guatemalan Air Force's main base, where the P-51 is exhibited, there is also a Cessna A-37B, a Sikorsky H-19 and I think, a tail-less UH-1H.
There are IIRC two Stearmans based there, as well as a couple of T-28s.
Word of advice: Crime is rampant, more so than it used to be. Beware.
Honduras is also rife with crime, but if you manage a visit to the Toncontin Airport, there is an aviation museum there, with an F4-U5 Corsair, T-28, C-45, C-46, T-6, BT-13 and others that I do not remember at this time.
Saludos,
Tulio
