Seems like it's pretty much original. Love the panel.

There is an entire universe of work in this sentence:

The aircraft will need some loving restoration, and sheet metal work, before flying.

"and do not leave any low ball offers, since low ballers need not call."

That $38K asking price might just be enough to cover the first annual. I notice no mention or pic of ruddervators. (fabric? might be a plus!)

Don't Low Ball ME! I know what I got.......

truer words have never been spoken. I know what you have too.
Good luck to this seller. I wouldn't want the hangar storage bills while he sells this gem.

Question for the BTers. What would you actually pay for this?

Nothing.

Going to take more than a stack of Benjamin’s to get that thing out of there.

Or some pretty good elbow grease, trailer, and at least two people.

I’d reckon someone would pay 3-5k, if the ruddervators are good. If not. It’s a glorified paperweight.

38K in 1945 dollars to cover that first annual. :woot:

Its clone is sitting in the hangar next to ours. It hasn't flown in 10 years and is surround by stuff that would have to be excavated before you could remove the plane.

3+ years waitlist for hangars and there sits a Bonanza shaped sculpture in storage and the owner works for AOPA. :grr:

It's every airport, every ramp, every hangar. Ramp mummies everywhere that will never fly again.

Because people bought airplanes that they could not afford or were unwilling to spend the money needed to maintain them.

These are always difficult situations...the emotions tying people to the machines (or to Dear Old Dad's machine that he so dearly loved and told Mom all these years was worth $200,000).

I met a man at our local EAA chapter meeting the other night who had spent most the past 30 years building a nice little Glasair. Stout little airplane, 170 knots on an 0-320. He lost his medical, so it sits. Said he'd sell it for $70k to someone local who'd take him flying in it now and then and let him putter around it. It would sure take somebody with a stout constitution (and pocketbook) to spend that kind of money on something somebody else built, hasn't been flown much, and has all these strings attached.

So, I'm sure it will sit.

I hope I'm smart enough, when it comes time to hang up the Baron, to flog it to some lowly time builder for a few bucks and move on. Or donate it to the missionary fliers down in the Bahamas. Or do something with it besides letting it sit and play on the emotions in my waning years.

My wife says they will probably bury me in it, and that may be true. :D

He's got a nice hotrod he's working on in there, though!
