    That is a steal at that price for a 1953. Heck a 1953 Corvette would cost a whole lot more.

        I have a fair bit of backseat time in those and have had the stick a few times. Lots of fun.

          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

            Before you pull the trigger on this... ya should know it has no guns, it's a trainer. So you can't use it for hunting caribou or alligators.

              Before you get too carried away, that Allison T33 engine takes a lot of maintenance.

                  That would look good parked next to the Playpen! just think of all the plywood you could haul on the wings.

                      I know this is off topic, but my uncle just had a turret style satelite dish installed on his RV... When he went to check it out the installers had rigged up some barrels.

                          But when you are driving that at 150, try pulling back on the steering wheel. Not hard, just a gently pull. $1000 says nothing exciting happens.

                            I'm trying to keep my shorts clean.
                            Besides I want to drive my Lambo by the people on the boardwalk or the mall at a stately 10 mph. I want to impress the girls, not the guys.
