What do you guys figure this thing's going to be worth when it's done?

Whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. Not trying to be snarky, but that's honestly what it will be. Currently, there is not a single F/P-82 flying in the world. Seeing how rare they are and the desirability, I wouldn't be surprised if it could sell for somewhere between 6 to 10 million.

IIRC, I believe this P-82 already has a buyer/home. Before this project started, Reilly got a group of investor's together to finance the restoration with the plan of selling it for profit. I don't believe it was ever the intention of Reilly to keep the aircraft.

Anybody know more details about this?

Tom discussed that with Matt on Warbird Radio but I can't for the life of me remember who it was.
