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.
