Extremely Rare P-38 Project Offered For Sale

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

An extremely rare P-38 project has hit the market.

According to the listing, the aircraft (S/N 42-104088, C/N 422-2922, N38LL, Scatterbrain Kid II) is a P-38J-15-LO that was accepted at Lockheed in Burbank, California on 8 January 1944 and assigned to the 370th Fighter Group (FG) / 9th Air Force. It was listed as “condemned salvaged” due to battle damage on 1 August 1944. Following the war it reportedly passed through the hands of several owners before it was fully restored, returning to the air in 1992. Sadly it crashed on takeoff in 1994 and was subsequently dismantled and stored.

The package consists of a damaged aircraft, many extra parts and is packed for shipping wooden crates and on pallets. The Center section of the aircraft and one tail boom have been rebuilt by West Pac in Colorado to an extremely high standard.

The project is located in Breckenridge, TX and is currently being offered for $1,500,000. Click here to check out the listing, which includes a detailed history and project photos.

Full-Scale, Static Spitfire Mk.IX For Sale: “Newly Built, Highly Detailed”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A full-scale Spitfire Mk.IX static reproduction has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

Newly built, highly detailed static replica suitable for a variety of purposes. This museum quality reproduction has been painstakingly created over the last 3 years taking over 2,500 hours of work. The main structure is a plywood interior which mirrors real Spitfire frames in position which has been over-covered with GRP (Fibre Glass). The GRP is graded to last over 25 years and longer if kept painted. Flying surfaces are fixed to prevent water ingress. Viewable cockpit interior, not absolutely complete but very convincing. Tyres are real and inflated on plywood rims which turn on robust steel axels. Tailwheel is non-operable but towing dolly available with sale… Finished in the colours of 74 Sqn, PV144 was flown by Squadron Leader Hayter in the ground attack role in late 1944.

The reproduction is located in Carlisle, United Kingdom and is currently available for £28,950, although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

DH T11 Vampire For Sale: “Complete Project Well on its Way to Completion”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A de Havilland T11 Vampire (WZ450 C/N 15037) described as a “complete project well on its way to completion” has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

WZ450 was going through a beautiful restoration with two things in mind. One a working aircraft less engine. Two long term was to get the engine running and taxi. Unfortunately the group has folded and I am forced to find the Vampire a new home. The cockpit has been nicely restored. A wiring loom was in planning but not started yet. Some instruments had been cut in the past. And so do need some attention to repiping. A lot of the pneumatics system has been sourced and the canopy opens and closes well. The wings are currently on but will need to be removed for transport. The control linkages were being worked on just a week ago. Included is a spare landing gear set, spare main fuel tank and spare booms. The engine is in the DH stand awaiting clean up. But the fan blade turns freely and nice looking condition. The windscreen is plastic, but included in a brand new screen still in its wax coating yet to be fitted.

The project is located in Shropshire, United Kingdom and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A “full-scale, light sport experimental” Sopwith Camel has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

This is a full scale Sopwith Camel built from an Airdrome Airplanes quick build kit. It has the chromoly tube frame for the fuselage. The kit was built according to the plans and recommendations and is fitted with a Lycoming 290 and Culver prop. The aircraft has a current N number and was well documented during the build. It has working control surfaces, has all gauges and seat installed. The aircraft needs finishing with weight and balance, wiring, plumbing, mags, battery, etc. The aircraft was trailered and shown at Oshkosh in 2018 with the WWI airplanes. The aircraft was built with the intention of flying, however the educational program’s aerospace engineering classes didn’t have continued support after the first year. Therefore the aircraft is for sale. Would consider selling airframe separate from the engine… Meets requirements for light sport experimental.

The machine is located in Perrysburg, Ohio and is currently being offered for US $25,000, although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

1947 Cessna 140 Airframe For Sale: “Very Little Damage, Cheap”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A 1947 Cessna 140 airframe has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

1947 Cessna 140 airframe, nice, very little damage, great project, cheap!… Like many owners, the owner of this airplane upgraded the original drum brakes to modern Cleveland disc brakes, via STC. The Cleveland brakes work great! So great in fact, that over-enthusiastic application will result in the airplane going up on its nose, or if applied while there is still some lift on the wings, the airplane may even flip upside down… The cool thing about this incident is that as the airplane went over, it rotated over on the edge of one prop blade, not the lower cowl or firewall!! Not good for the prop, (it was bent) or the engine (prop strike), so they have been unbolted (properly) and are not included here… Continue reading 1947 Cessna 140 Airframe For Sale: “Very Little Damage, Cheap”
