This airplane has been recovered in modern Stits Polyfiber. The engine has only 396 hours since a major overhaul, and compressions at the last annual in 2020 were all 70 and above!

All very light and innocent damage… The fixed pitch prop suffered some paint nicks, but no bending at all and no damage that wont file out as you would at annual. With its heavy crankshaft and prop flange, the franklin engine has no A.D. requirements for teardown… The dash has been modernized greatly, with modern gyro instruments in a six-pack configuration, center stack for avionics, circuit breakers and modern switchgear for the electrical. The brakes are S.T.C.’d Clevelands and the retraction mechanism for the gear is hydraulic. Logbooks are included from 1953… The annual just expired this year…

The aircraft is located in Abilene, Texas and is currently being offered for US $8,495, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay, which includes a great deal of additional photos and details.

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.

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.
