Grim Reaper Strikes Again

[201er]

Alan Fox, the Grim Reaper of Mooneyspace, strikes again. This time, the kiss of death has his sickle (gas saw) pointed at a 1983 M20J with 300 hours TT on it.

No, it's not MY plane but has an eerily similar paint job.

Who wants part or whole of an '83 J?

[TonyK]

Cause of death?

[peevee]

That's got everything I need to convert back to a factory belly pan too.

[Alan Fox]

Its not dead yet , No logs....   Monroy tanks , KFC200 autopilot flight director, Electric trim , Leather interior , Articulating pilots seat ,   I will wash it tomorrow , I threw 70 gallons in today , if it doesn't leak , I might just save it..... 

[Godfather]

300tt...so sad. 

[carqwik]

Are the economics such that this plane is worth more in parts than as a whole plane?

[Alan Fox]

No

Those seats alone almost make the plane worth rebuilding! Leather articulating seats, oh my!

Dibs on the seats.

Numbers are what they are, but I am surprised that an '83 could be destined for parts. 

[Dream to fly]

How did you ever find it?????   I never find things like that  

I'd trade my perfect bird for that!!!!

[RLCarter]

Some friends of mine had a working 310 a few years back.  it was ugly, but airworthy.  They couldn't sell it and wound up scrapping it.  i think they got $24K, with two engines and a 430 in the panel.

[MB65E]

Damn-They should scrap the guy who lost the logs!!!

Im sure some one would buy it with out logs.

That is what I was thinking.

Just curious but how do you determine it is only 300tt without logs?

Forensic analysis of the pavement divot at the tie down.

Amount of tags (graffiti) on it?
