The structure is all present and generally sound with good zinc chromating of the interior fuselage, wings and tail surfaces. It is a restoration project with a number of dents some metal gouges from handling and shipping. It also has some corrosion of a few extrusions characterisitic of it’s age. Nothing that isn’t easily replaced and none in the spars or other major structural elements

The project is also said to include two Curtiss Wright R-1300-1B engines, and although both are in need of overhaul, they provide “a great set of parts including all engine accessories” and “much redundancy.”
