dcrogers11 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Has anyone seen this vintage Mooney listed on Barnstormers? http://www.barnstormers.com/listing.php?id=968945 I haven't seen one like it ever listed in this shape. Pretty remarkable. Don Quote
Leekelley Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 It's too good to be true. The asking price Is the price of the engine. However it is definatley a beautiful plane! Quote
Hank Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Yes, A models are wooden spars, but I think the tails have been converted to all metal in the 60's. This is a beautiful plane, if I only needed a second plane. Quote
kerry Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 I've personally seen this plane at KVGT. It's a very nice plane. The original long time owner babied it and had it listed on barnstormers for $20,000 a few months ago. It will do everything a C model will at a much lower price. A lot of money is spent out on speed mods. Here you spend less money for probably the best speed mod. The smooth glass like wood wing. In my opinion the wood wing is less maintenance as long as you keep it in a hangar. Quote
DaV8or Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 The itty bitty pictures are pretty lame, but from what I can make out, the panel has been redone in the 6 pack configuration and has better than the original radios and engine instruments. If someone was willing to take on the challenge of wood Mooney ownership, this looks to be a heck of a value! Cherokee 140 prices and utility, but 140+ knots! Gotta love the Mooney efficiency! Quote
ryoder Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Id love to wipe it down with pledge after a flight 2 Quote
