Hello Larry,
It's quite a popular aircraft on this forum, for one reason or another. Frank has shared his statistics on the A-36 and other Mustang versions in two interesting threads, one from 2011 -

49 thousand dollars would be at least 2 million in current money. That might seem little comapred to the $108 million cost of a new F-35A, but the Apache wasn't a supersonic stealth fighter with an electronically scanned radar
Warm regards,
Paul
