With those guns on the side it looks like they took it to OCC and let Paul Jr. get ahold of it. It's a good detailed paint job, but that thing Jet Black would be sweet.
and top speed?

that is the most unbelievable automobile this planet has ever seen. If I won powerball this is the car I would buy. One of a kind, can't say enough about the work and skill that went into creating this masterpiece.

this car was completed in Australia, and has been a project before those chumps at OCC even got their shitty bikes on TV
Pics don't do this car justice, i've seen every detail of it in real life and competed w/ it at this years Grand National Roadster Show. Unreal machine

this car will sell for over 1mill I bet and will be going up in value forever(as long as its cared for properly). The question is why would they sell it in the first place? Must need the money. Shit unless I was destitute I wouldn't sell that ride!

No. The P-51 was always a water cooled engine. Same as the rolls royce engine used on the spitfire, etc.
Water cooled engines have the advantage of having a very small head-on view "profile", and at 300 to 400 mph, not to much of a radiator (size wise) is needed, due to the cooling effects of very high speed air. Radials, air cooled, that is, need large frontal areas to accomidate the fins that radiate the heat generated in the engine back to the air.
