Hi All,
Coming to market is an outstanding, fast 1964 E model. This aircraft has been owned by a two pilot family since 1976 (One a WWII fighter pilot and the other a long-time Fed Ex captain) and has been very well cared for. It is in excellent shape mechanically and has a basic IFR-capable panel.
In 2020, the owner Harry Moyer set the Guinness World Record for oldest active pilot in this airplane, shortly after which Harry's son Ted became the primary caretaker of the airplane. Ted has unfortunately passed, so the aircraft is now for sale.
88R has many speed mods, and actually served as a test aircraft for many of LASAR's mods as a result of Paul Loewen and Harry's longtime friendship. It's certainly faster than the '66 E that I've personally come to know.
The airplane has complete logs and is currently undergoing an annual inspection in San Luis Obispo, CA. Now would be a great time to perform a pre-purchase inspection. So far I have only advertised on Mooneyspace. After the annual is complete, I will be posting the ad on the other major sites.
Complete specifications are listed below, and additional photos of the aircraft and logs are coming. I've tried to include as much information as possible, but if there are any additional questions please reach out to my father, Mike, who is handling the sale on behalf of Harry Moyer. His contact information is at the bottom of the list.
