I am the owner. I go by what's in the log books.
Previous owner was an A&P who lost interest in flying due to numerous regulations and policies put into effect by the State of New York. He pickled the engine on the plane as it was tied down outside in the Long Island salt air. The atmosphere has caused enough corrosion to make the restoration of the entire a/c economically unfeasible. He was flying about 10 hours a year. No prop strike. Yes, it is a great price. Mags and new harnesses were installed when #4 cylinder was overhauled. In 10 days it will cost much more. Free to come down with your mechanic and check it over if your are interested.
