Re: P-40's on Ebay
One of the people I work with just told me he would consider buying them, but he is currently busy with a Hurricane restoration. I suppose after restoring the 17 trillion parts and pieces that make up a Hurricane a couple of P-40's wouldn't be that big of a project.

Re: P-40's on Ebay
Those "projects" are nothing more than a bunch of scrap aluminum skin. If you look closely at the pic of the fuse on the trailer you will see what I mean. There is a stell tube structure attached to the trailer with the remains attached to it to make it look somewhat whole. That's why they have been for sale for a looong time.Comment

Re: P-40's on Ebay
Looks like there's a bit more than just skin there, though I cannot say how much of it, if any, is usable:
SN 43-24362
recovered from Fl Everglades in 1986. Nearly complete airship wreckage
SN 44-7305
recovered in from Fl Everglades in 1986. Significant airship wreckage
SN 43-24033 (identity only)
recovered from St. Simons Island Ga. in 1988. Min usable wreckage
All aircraft include original production number stamps confirming positive identity. Each wreckage includes extensive documentation, photographs of recovery, and complete accident reports from Army Air Corps. Collection includes some NOS parts, and memorabilia.
