This 1945 North American P-51D Mustang (N51T, serial 45-11571) presents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained warbird with civilian modifications. With 47,472 hours total time on airframe, this Mustang shows just 2507 hours since its complete restoration in 1977, with only 237 hours flown post-restoration. The Packard V-1650-7 Merlin engine has 175 hours since major overhaul by Vintage V-12's, complemented by a Hamilton Standard 24D50 propeller with paddle blades showing just 2 hours SMOH. Recent maintenance includes engine servicing by Mike Nixon and an airframe inspection by Matt Jackson, with the aircraft currently in annual.
The aircraft features several notable civilian modifications including a 300-gallon fuel capacity, a custom one-piece windshield replacing the original bullet-proof windscreen, and a striking white custom paint scheme applied by Learjet. The interior boasts a custom leather setup, maintaining the original two-seat configuration. Avionics include Garmin equipment, though specific models aren't detailed. This P-51D represents one of the few surviving examples finished in a civilian paint scheme, having undergone a major IRAN (Inspect and Repair As Necessary) process within the last decade to maintain its impeccable condition.
