Looking to be south of 100K Might consider a Rocket .. How do you feel about orphan German engines? There use to be a couple of PFMs that hit TaP or Controller every now and then. Probably meets your budget... 1 Quote
MIm20c Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Probably a older bravo with a timed out engine will be close. I have my eye on one with the same paint scheme and color as mine, I wonder if the wife would notice? Best deals on the market IMO. Quote

I've seen a few , problem is its more cost effective to buy one with time left on it.. Quote

Dave Colangelo Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 Alan, I dont have anything for ya' but Im in Philly and not all that far from you. If you take on a project and need a hand I'd love to help out and see how these things look on the inside. Dave Quote
ArtVandelay Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 The best deals on the used Mooney market IMO are the most over-improved and carefully maintained beauties in the fleet. Those are rare, unless some meteor hits the Mooney summit they are hard to find. 1 Quote

There's gonna be one of those over-improved and carefully maintained beauties available very soon but it is already spoken for. The best ones often sell before they're advertised. 3 Quote

Yes, but you only have to find one. I practice what I preach—both my Ovation and P46T were over-improved cherries. Not cheap. But very good. 2 Quote

gsxrpilot Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 Did you ever hear if your old M20C was parted out or was it rebuilt? It was listed for salvage but I haven’t heard since then. It seems like it was at some salvage yard in Arkansas. Quote
rpcc Posted January 8, 2018 Report Posted January 8, 2018 They aren't that rare at all. Check with insurance companies. Unfortunately people mistreat these planes quite frequently and they are available for sale. If Alan can put things together as well as he can take them apart he should be able to find something interesting. Quote
FloridaMan Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Not a long body, but there was a Rocket on Barnstormers fairly recently. Quote
