I had guessed the Pacific Northwest based on the fishing boat before I even clicked on the link. Is this the P-40 that was never restored, having all the original equipment?

I had clicked on that link, but I'm not sure if it answered my question...

I assume it is the same plane, but I had read about a P-40 that was put into storage sometime after the war and was untouched for decades. This made for a rather rare time capsule for the original equipment, which is almost always deleted or replaced during restoration/conversion/

You are correct about it being complete. Its history...Intermission One – Kittyhawk AK803 (1034)
