Tinker51,

I don't have a lot of info on it.

He seems to have been connected at some level with the WWII veterans of several branches including the Army, AirForce and perhaps others. There is a WWII motorcycle and side car with the gov't issue Thompson machine gun in addition to a variety of other memorabilia including a signed picture of Pappy Boynton's squadron signed by Pappy Boynton, if I remember correctly.

While there is a variety of P-51 stuff scattered throughout the garage there is no complete plane or airframe. I don't have pictures of the aircraft stuff because it wasn't the focus of my attention. If/when I get up there again I'll take more photos.

If you look carefully at the back wall of the garage you can see some of the WWII Warbird photos. The red car on the left of the Cobra is an Allard in very nice condition.

Another side view of the Cobra. The silver car to the right of the Cobra is a Mercedes 300 Gull Wing.
