A T-28A Trojan project (S/N 51-7703) has hit the market. The aircraft is described as unmodified from the original version, which was “transferred to Mexico as number 31 of 88 aircraft to upgrade it’s Air Force in the 1950s.” The listing states (in part):
The project is nearly complete with the only major items canabolized prior to return to the US being the instrument panels and radios. The flight controls and side panels are intact with associated controls, switches, breakers. lights etc. It just requires a new front and rear plate for the intrument panels and the assocaited intruments. I do have some loose intruments including the fuel gages, MAP, and flap indicator and landing gear indicators from the aircraft as well as the left and right front windshield plastics. 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.”
The aircraft is reportedly located at the Newport, OR airport and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
