A Corben Super Ace project has hit the market. The listing states (in part):

Just got it unloaded and haven’t spent much time to investigate it. Missing the instruments and intake manifold and carb. Other than that it looks complete. Looks like an older build, but extremely well done. Wing tanks and a fuselage tank… Has a little hangar rash from storage on aileron wing root and back of one gear leg NO other damage. Not sure what it is covered with. No prop.”
