Anyone know anything about this.
Perhaps an old story rehashed. Looks a bit like the TFC P51.

It’s going to become a racer.
No it isn’t. That started as an ‘in joke’ on Facebook and has now seemingly been accepted as the Gospel truth.

It’s going to become a racer. So, that’s the end of that airframe as a P51.
..but ditto if it were going to be “restored”: it would emerge as another replica.
The car world has already picked up on the value of unrestored, period artefacts, and aside from Flak Bait and a few other notable airframes, the aviation world has yet to follow suit in any great numbers.

I suspect it sold: registration pending, to Brown Helicopter Inc of Pensacola, Florida and dated Aug 15.
I had an original photo of this machine sitting in a field somewhere. Not exactly a barn find either, since it’s known about.
