A 1960 Champ 7FC/C/EC airframe project has been spotted for sale.
According to the listing, this is a low‑production, two‑seat tandem “Tri‑Traveler” converted back to a 7EC taildragger, offering a vintage Champ look, slightly higher cruise, and soft‑field capability, with 2,812 hours total time and logs from 1966 onward; it was airworthy and in annual before a hard landing that caused localized damage (bent left windshield post, broken windshield, some belly and minor wing‑fabric damage), but left wings, struts, gear, tail, engine mount, controls, brakes, and Poly‑Fiber fabric largely intact, making it a relatively clean restoration project ready for a C‑85, C‑90, or O‑200 engine installation, sold complete with paperwork, airworthiness certificate, and short‑term storage at Crystal Airport (KMIC).
The aircraft is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for US $6,995 although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes additional photos and details.
