KvogDEN Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hi guys, I have not just one, but TWO different M20C models. Both have pretty much all the 201 speed kits: 1-peice winshields, flap gap fairings, one peice belly pan. One has an aftermarket ray-jay turbo charger and built in oxygen, the other has the STC to install a 201 engine. The one with the turbo has an engine ready to be overhauled to hopefully "zero time engine" if I understand the term correctly. The non-turbo has no usable engine due to a gear up landing and wear, but does have good cylinders and probably most of the accessories. The one with a turbo has been in a hangar for a while and is in pretty fair shape. The other has been on the ramp several years and probably will need a fair bit of love. Neither have any particularly special avionics. The non-turbo has basic king radios which work ok. The turbo has digital king radios in good working order I believe. They are actually my father's, but he is starting to get too old to deal with the situation and the time has come to address his positions. I can no longer leave either aircraft where they are. My qustions are, in the opinion of the guys here who know Mooney's, are either or both Mooneys viable to restore. If so, what would either one be worth. If not how should I go about getting rid of one or both of them? I realize I probably haven't given quite enough information but ask specificsand I will try to find the answers. Thanks!

Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Unless you are interested in keeping one for yourself, I would post them for sale here with pictures and details. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put together a spec sheet on both of them. Look for any of the ones posted for sale here and duplicate the information for these planes. Also, before you let someone chop them up (aka Alan Fox on this site), get people to look at them for restoration. Most of us hate to see a plane go to the Boogie Man, especially a couple of planes that have been modified. As for worth, there are VRef sites that will allow you to enter the details of the plane and give you a ballpark for worth. I will see if I can find one of those links for you.

Marauder Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Here are a couple of sites to value the plane. The Mooney one will have better details for your C.http://www.themooneyflyer.com/tool.htmlhttp://naaa.trade-a-plane.com/evaluator/appraisals.php?req=newSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Never used the NAAA version before. The Mooney evaluator says my F is worth $93k and the NAAA $100k. Sad Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were mine, I'd take detailed pictures of the paint, interior and avionics, gather all of the important data (TTAF, SMOH, when was the last annual, what were the cyl. pressures, etc), and then get in touch with All American Aviation in San Antonio, or some other dealer that sees a lot of Mooneys. Even if you pay them for some of their time, they will know the condition, cost to refurb, and potential market values. I have a 1966 "C" and would be interested in the turbo engine if you're decide to sell it apart from the aircraft.

Hank Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Restoring an airplane takes much more time and money than restoring a car. But it can be done . . . Very few of us have the time and certification to do it ourselves. It is possible to help out and trade your time and effort for some cost, if you are mechanically inclined,have tools and the restorer is willing to showny what to do and check on you throughout the tasks. Best of luck! These two sound like good planes, and it would be a shame to see either of them parted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry 5TJ Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 What you have sounds like an extensive collection of good parts. As Hank suggested, if you have the skills, a thousand (or more) hours of your time and perhaps $40K to spend on your project you should be able to create one very good C model Mooney. And you will have a hangar full of spares to keep or sell. I don't think Vref or other valuation sites will give you useful information as they are designed to evaluate airworthy planes. Your first problem may be moving these two -- if you have to get them off the airport you're going to need to remove the wings to trailer them. Two guys can pull the wing in a day if they have done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Before you let the Boogeymen convince you to scrap them, there are people who look for project planes. I would see what they are worth and decide to go from there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days I think I'll ask him to look at what it values my E. ($115,000+) He values a GTN 750 and a GDL 88 combo @ $19,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 When letting go an M20C that was fully worn out, I found somebody that is now a resident at MooneySpace that may take on these types of projects. Look for Jerry... (ACpartswhse...) Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvogDEN Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks for some input guys. Its difficult finding time to get a project going let alone accomplishing it. I think I need to find someone who has the time. I will try to get some better pictures and equipment list and see if anyone here is interested. I know a few of you expressed interest and it seems like we misconnected. If anyone is interested try calling Brian Vogel at 303-432-8246 Thanks guys.
