Seen it way too often...a priceless collection lost.

Back in the early 70’s there was a gent in the St. Louis area who had a complete, crated F-6 Photo Mustang in his garage.
I remember seeing flyable P-51s in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch going for a measly $10,000, ah to have bought a few of those back then:-)
