Hahaha. However I wouldn't turn down the P51 in any circumstance.
Me either! I'm not a pilot, but that would be incentive to learn, I think!

Thanks, Dave! But I don't think you could even touch one of those Mustangs for 50K!
Not hardly! Approx production cost was about 50 thousand. Figuring in inflation, they weren't cheap!

Around $600,000 in today's money.

Lol, $50,000 vs $100 plus million but with big bang for the buck! No pun intended. 
Good catch!
Good catch!
You only need to add 1 more "0" or 2 to the $50K to get a P51. LOL

Nice one, Chief.
I seriously doubt you can buy a flyable P-51 for less then 1 million bucks. The best ones sell for a lot more than that. The total number of these planes...either air worthy or can be restored to that status...is slightly more than 100. A nice guy in Jacksonville has one of the best out there and I have been fortunate enough to have been taken up for a ride in it. That was surely the most visceral experience I've ever had in an airplane.
