A 1959 Champ 7GC airframe project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
This aircraft suffered damage when it ground looped on landing and headed for the bushes, where it impacted a tree on the left wing inboard leading edge, and another on the right wing leading edge… the airplane did not go over on its nose, so there is no damage to the firewall, bootcowl, engine mount or cowlings and nosebowl!… The 0-290 engine has been unbolted, and is not included…the former owner kept the tailwheel and spring, so none is included here…the logbooks for this airframe were lost by UPS in shipping, but we have copies of the last several entries from the airframe book that we will include. Last annual was performed 1/5/2022 and expired 1/31/23, so this is not a sitter, it is a good looking, recently flown and annualed airframe with repairable damage!
The project is located near Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for $3,995, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the listing on eBay, which includes many additional photos and details.
