..The gentleman I purchased her from put over $60k into the restoration...
60,000$ hmmmm I know my bird doesn't look that nice....but.....
60,000$ equates to about 14,000 gallons of Avgas @4.25/gal.
Thats a LOT of flying time
I've got about that into mine. A lot of money, but at least now I am reasonably sure my airplane won't fall out of the sky, and that's worth a lot, as well. As long as I keep the plane and fly it, it will be money well spent.
Since I had read so much about the N2673J when it was being restored at Shelby's, I was hoping to get a chance to take a look at it when you flew up through California, particularly when you made your Saturday stop at Hollister (would have been a perfect day for me to meet you there), but you were gone in a flash, and I never got a chance to see the bird. Good luck in selling it. It will be interesting to see how much you can get versus how much you put in...
