Reminds me of a J-3 on one of my old fields.

The airplane was tied down outside and hadn't flown in a decade (that I know of!) but was annualled regularily. They had to reinflate the tires to move into the maintainance hanger.

When approached to sell the owner wanted $25,000 because it only had 25 hours since it was resoted and overhauled almost 15 years ago. I had to laugh because you could see where the paint was cracking and where the interior cloth was peeling off. You can only wonder about the condition of the tubing.
