P-51D MUSTANG MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL 15 0RIGINAL WWII ARMY AIR FORCE GAUGES EXC.

Description: NORTH AMERICAN P-51D "MUSTANG" MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL! THIS IS A FULL SIZE, COMPLETE MAIN PANEL WITH 15 ORIGINAL WWII ARMY AIR FORCE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS/GAUGES MOUNTED IN AN EXACT REPLICA PANEL PLATE. THESE INSTRUMENTS/GAUGES ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND HARDER TO FIND. A NUMBER ARE NOW CONSIDERED RARE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. THE 15 INSTRUMENT/GAUGES ARE: A DIRECTIONAL GYRO; ARTIFICAL HORIZON; 700MPH AIRSPEED INDICATOR; 3-IN-1 GAUGE (WITH THE ORIGINAL ENGINE TEMP PROBE STILL ATTACHED;) REMOTE INDICATING COMPASS; BULOVA 8-DAY AIRCRAFT CLOCK (NOT WORKING); SUCTION GAUGE; MANIFOLD PRESSURE GAUGE; TACHOMETER; COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE; CARBURATOR AIR TEMPERATURE GAUGE; ALTIMETER; TURN AND BANK INDICATOR; RATE OF CLIMB INDICATOR AND A VERY HARD TO FIND WWII ACCELEROMETER/G METER! WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS EXACTLY WHAT THOSE BRAVE WWII MUSTANG PLIOTS WERE ANXIOUSLY MONITORING DAY IN AND DAY OUT ON THOSE LONG, DANGEROUS COMBAT MISSIONS. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING. THE SECOND TO THE LAST PHOTO IS OF THE PANEL GAUGES GLOWING UNDER UV LIGHT (THIS IS HOW THE GAUGES WERE LIT DURING THE WAR--MEANING THAT EACH GAUGE DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL LIGHT BULB AND WIRING, AND ALSO MEANT THAT THE PILOT'S NIGHT VISION WAS NOT AFFECTED BY INCADESCENT LIGHT, REALLY KIND OF COOL). THE PANEL IS 20 3/4" LONG/WIDE, 13 1/2" HIGH AND 7 1/2" DEEP AND CAN STAND UP ON ITS OWN--NO NEED FOR ANY KIND OF MOUNT OR STAND TO DISPLAY. YOUR CHANCE TO OWN AND DISPLAY THE MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC AIRCRAFT OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR! OVER 200 "MUSTANGS" ARE STILL REGULARLY FLYING! PLEASE NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE DELICATE NATURE AND RARITY OF THESE INSTRUMENTS, THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE SHIPPING BOX AND THE COST OF UPS GROUND SHIPPING PLUS INSURANCE TO COVER THE LISTING COST AGAINST DAMAGE OR LOSS--THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE $250.00 (UPS SHIPPING HAS GONE UP RECENTLY BECAUSE OF GAS AND MATERIAL PRICES). ALSO, ADULT SIGNATURE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY. I WILL REFUND ANY OVERAGES IN SHIPPING COSTS. LOCAL PICKUP IS ALSO POSSIBLE BY PREPAYMENT AND PREARRANGEMENT. PANEL IS LOCATED VERY NEAR THE JUNCTION OF I95 AND I64 IN RICHMOND, VA. BEAUTIFUL PIECE! THANKS FOR LOOKING!
