Well its finally up for sale.
https://www.platinumfighters.com/inventory/1943-north-american-tp-51c/I really thought they were going to fly her to Oshkosh, take the awards, get a photo flight with the FW-190, and then either retire her to the museum or fly her. Surprised to say the least. With the family model FM-2 also for sale, I wonder what else will be considered surplus to there needs.

She's been quietly for sale for quite a while. Now that it's ready to go it's official. They are looking for a combat vet P-51 for static display, beyond that I don't know any more. Hopefully she will go to a good home and will be flown.

Surely, good news?
Considering the rarity of B & Cs, it's better to have it flying than static?
