The XP-82 Twin Mustang is for sale at $12,000,000.

With the most expensive warbirds seeming to go for about $3M, how much chance is there that it sells at this price? I know it's a one of a kind, but still...

This is almost like one of those times when an ad languishes on Trade-a-Plane or Controller for months and months, and the backstory is, "Honey, I've been trying sell the plane like you told me but nobody is calling."

This particular airplane has been a really neat project to follow. I'm pretty sure the first place I ever heard of or saw a picture of a P-82/F-82 was in one of those red hardcover C.B. Colby books from the public library... decades ago. Until this restoration came along, there was just the occasional "honorable mention" in the form of a footnote or passing mention in material about the P-51, infrequent at best and almost forgotten.

Well, no harm in asking.

Is that better or worse than "Call for price"?

I was going to pay full price, but if I can't buy a matched pair so that I can fly formation with a buddy, it just isn't worth it.

It seems that this plane in particular sort of has matched pair formation built in... you should go for it :-)

Nah - that other guy is always wanting to be PIC. He needs his own plane!

If ya gotta ask, ya can’t afford it.

It will sell. Somebody will want the only one. People pay more than that for cars...

Peace,

Bingo!

Ifin I all ready had a P-51, P-40, B-25 and C-45 and also had a few hunert extra mil....then why not

For all you big talkers...

I need to move a Mustang for friend who passed away.

Give me a call!

I'll even check you out, if you've mastered the T-6. (that's a pretty safe offer, because I've been flying a T-6 30 years and I haven't mastered it yet.)

I'm not convinced that the exotic car market tells us much about the exotic airplane market. Seems like if it did, there'd be no ceiling for prices on pristine WWII aircraft, yet they top out around $3M.

insurability affects aircraft values greatly, easier to insure an exotic for $3m over retail than it is an airplane

ask those policyholders what the restrictions are on usage or display/location of their over-insured cars, usually requires a larger portfolio of insured items which is why these are usually part of collections
