A 1983 Arco Sport II airframe has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

This is a very nice example of an Acro Sport II, and it is in very nice condition, hangered and babied by both owners! The total airframe time, fully documented by the logbooks since day 1, is 170 hours!… After owning the airplane for 14 years, the pilot got just slightly off-kilter on landing and hit a runway light with the propellor. The light bounced off the leading edge of the right lower wing and put a tear in the fabric underneath the right wing tip… The airframe itself is almost completely undamaged!… This is basically a repower only, not a time consuming project!

the airframe is located in Blairstown, New Jersey and is currently being offered for US $9,495, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay, which includes a bevy of additional photos and details.
