Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.
According to the listing, the aircraft is equipped with an A-75 engine (2,900 total time, 329 since overhaul). It has complete logbooks since 1959, as well as other paperwork. Originally purchased new by a WWII veteran and kept in Minnesota ever since, it received major updates in the 1990s, including metal wing spars and late model Cleveland double-puck wheels and brakes, along with newer additions such as shoulder harnesses and custom embroidered seats. The plane suffered minor, low-speed taxi damage this summer when the left gear struck a sign, resulting in a curled left gear leg and slight deformation to the left wing’s forward spar face, but with no apparent fuselage, right-side or visible engine damage. The aircraft remains clean and largely intact—essentially a repair project—with original instrumentation, undamaged glass, and a bent metal prop from idle speed contact. Sold with a current FAA Bill of Sale and Airworthiness Certificate.
The aircraft is located in Glenwood, MN and is available for US $16,950, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which incudes many additional photos and details.
