A 1958 Piper Tri-Pacer airframe project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
1958 Piper Tri-Pacer PA-22-160 airframe, isolated damage from hard landing, nice plane, great project!… The owner of this airplane had just spent $18,000 on this airplane to overhaul the engine, with plans to keep it forever. Unfortunately, the engine seized during the test flight, and the owner made an unexpected power off landing back at his home airport of Grants Pass Oregon, but not on the runway! The damage to the aircraft is surprisingly light and easy to repair… The engine was removed for subrigation on the overhauling shop, so it and it’s bolt on accessories are not included here. The airbox and exhaust system are included, and all cables and electrical wires were unbolted, not cut, for easy replacement of the engine. This airplane is very easily fixable, and will make a sweet project, and a sweet airplane to own and fly after repair!
The airframe is located in Grants Pass, Oregon and is currently being offered for US $5,995, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay, which includes many additional photos and details.
