If one of the distributor housing cracks, the plane is grounded! If the valve springs breaks, it’s grounded! If the reduction gear has too much slack, it’s grounded! If one of the electronic ignition fails, it’s grounded! My Porsche mechanic looked at the books/microfiche/parts manual that I accumulated and he said not much is interchangeable! I guess I was almost willing to pay $45k and take my chances but it sold for $75k. Congratulations!! Regarding the buyer paying $75,000 for this - anyone with that type of judgment shouldn't be allowed to fly. Thankfully with this airplane that shouldn't be a problem. The Seller got exactly what he was looking for in a buyer - someone who knows nothing about the Porsche engine. If the buyer really wants to fly a Porsche engine long term - he'll have more chance of success bolting the M20L wing on a 911 Turbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyWalt Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hmmm, I wonder if this should be the test bed for a turbine conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will.iam Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Holy cats! 75K for that airplane? We are talking 144MP the one i took pictures of rotting on the ramp right? Because the pictures from that ad awhile back is not the condition this plane is in now. Reminds me of the 80’s captain Ron movie with Kurt Russell where this guy inherited a boat that looked great in the 10 year old photo but when he arrived it was dilapidated junk that was somehow floating.
