B-17Guy Posted August 20, 2015 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2015 Yep, a bit over $800,000...a friend of mine disassembled the it for shipping. I believe it is now in Salinas getting a full restoration. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-Cal Posted August 20, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2015 Is there a ballpark figure for how much a restoration like that would cost? Yep, a bit over $800,000...a friend of mine disassembled the it for shipping. I believe it is now in Salinas getting a full restoration.

gwb123 Posted August 21, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 21, 2015 Glad to see this end up in a good place. For anyone interested in what it takes to restore warbirds, I recommend the books Hidden Warbirds and Hidden Warbirds II by Nicholas Veronico. He tells the story of aircraft rescued from jungles, oceans, and even gate guards. http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Warbirds-Recovering-Rebuilding-WWII%2527s/dp/0760344094/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440128466&sr=8-1&keywords=hidden+warbirds http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Warbirds-II-Recovering-Rebuilding/dp/0760346011/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1440128466&sr=8-2&keywords=hidden+warbirds This one also looked good as well, but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet... it is the story of bringing P-51's back home from Central America: http://www.amazon.com/Bought-Air-Force-Midwesterner-Nicaragua/dp/1938690362/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1440128466&sr=8-3&keywords=hidden+warbirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
