Oops! That was the F-82 Twin Mustang!  Talk about rare!

And to think you could buy a completely re-manufactured P-51 called a 
Caviler 2000  for $15,000.00 in the late sixties.  They had a back seat 
added in the radio position and the machine gun bays held luggage.  That

price, by the way, was the same as a top of the line Ferrari Super 
America.  The P-38 would most likely be worth much more than a P-51 as 
it is considerably more rare.  When I was a teenager living on Lackland 
AFB in the late 50's there  was an F-81 on Display.  That's two P-51s 
stuck together to make an even longer range bomber escort.  Now that 
would -really- be rare.  They also had the one and only XC-199, a 
cargo/troop carrier version of the B-36.  Sure hope the didn't scrap 
it.  There was probably some ARC gear in the B-25 and B-17 on display to

keep this at least a little on topic. ;-)
