Mustang that is.  510hp.  Why would he choose "A" instead of "D" I'll never know.

He didn't make it. He restored one, so being they are quite limited and hard to find. It's likely yea can't get to picky.

 I'm pretty sure he has had two of them and I know at least one of them was pulled out of a lake here in Florida.

I took a quick glance at it but thought it was the article I had already read about his real P51. There was an article posted here a month or two back that was from some automotive site that looked like that one.

There are new built P-51As.

Dakota-based Tri-State Aviation flew the first of a run of ten scratchbuilt high-back North American P-51A Mustangs on June 7 2006. See August's Aeroplane magazine for the full story.

It was one of these, iirc, that crashed at Oshkosh.

Jack bought a P-51 Mustang in 1993 and spent 10 months refurbishing it in first class condition as Bud Anderson's WWII Mustang "Old Crow".  Jack sold his P-51 "Old Crow" to Jim Hagedorn of Columbus Ohio. He now owns a P-51D "Gentleman Jim" and is working on a new P-51 "Old Crow."

Roush crashed a P-51D into a lake and almost died in 2003.

I thought he crashed a little experimental aircraft into the lake.  I didn't think it was a P-51.

Well lets get real here there was an article posted a month or two back about Jack Roush as I posted. When I clicked the link the fist thing I see is a picture of the plane with the car in front of it.

Looked like the one I had already read so I just closed the page.

The plane, a twin engine Air Cam, small aircraft built by National Geographic magazine for photography, according to Smith, went down in a residential area at about 6 p.m. No passengers were with Roush.

Smith said no details of the crash were available except that Roush, a longtime pilot, was celebrating his birthday with friends and apparently taking turns flying several aircraft.

A newspaper photographer at the scene said the plane crashed into a pond in a gated community. According to WBMA-TV, the plane was apparently underwater for five minutes after the crash. Other reports said Roush may have hit power lines.
