1949 Funk Airframe For Sale: “Very Good to Excellent Condition, With a Repairable Isolated Flaw”

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 1949 Funk has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

2486 TT, 0-235 Lycoming conversion, hard landing to left gear, close to perfect!… Other mods are to modern Cleveland wheels and brakes, shoulder harnesses, wingtip strobes auto fuel approval, etc. Fabric on the whole airframe was recently (2006) upgraded to Ceconite… Last annual just expired 4/1/2021, so this airplane is fresh, not a sitter… A firm landing has resulted in the left side of the airplane sitting low… It is not clear what was bent, as there is no obvious fuselage wrinkling, nor obvious gear leg deformation. Perhaps there is a problem with the bungee cords. It would not appear that there is any serious deformation, and you can see there is no firewall deformation at all. No damage to the wings or tail… The 0-235 engine has been removed as it was beyond TBO. The exhaust system (undamaged), airbox assembly (undamaged) and engine mount (undamaged) are all included, as are the paperwork to reinstall either a 235- c, c1 or c2c! This aircraft is in very good to excellent condition, with a repairable isolated flaw.

The aircraft is located in Geneseo, NY and is available for US $5,995, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

Titan T-51D For Sale: “Fairly Hurt, 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 “fairly hurt, cheap” 2008 Titan T-51D Mustang has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

The aircraft is seriously hurt, as you can see! But not all is destroyed! The new engine, with 4.5 hours since install, appears 100% undamaged! The tubular engine mount is dented on the right side but intact, and all of the special engine modifications required to increase the conversion from the $8,000 engine only price to the $48,000 conversion price (with the exception of the radiator, possibly damaged but all there) and the damaged propellor, are intact. This aircraft is sold without avionics, but complete from (damaged) propellor to tail otherwise… The main landing gear (heavy duty option) seems to have held up well, as the mounts inside the wings failed, not the trunions, wheels or brakes.

The machine is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for US $25,950, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay, which includes many additional photos and details.
