What about John Mc's plane that he posted in "Everything Else: Kids On College" ?

1966 Cessna 150F, 3,100-TTAF, 1300-SMOH, Hooker Harness double shoulder belts, Davtron M800 digital clock, vertical card compass, EAA auto fuel STC, F&M oil filter adapter, oil heater, oil quick drain, Whelen tail strobe, pitot heat, new headliner, new windshield. 720 Nav/Com, M-1 Loran, Transponder w/ encoder, portable intercom. Paint fair, interior good. Complete logs, maintenance and parts manuals, flies and runs well. $12,000.

If the plane makes it to TBO (1800 hrs), there's 500 hrs left. For that kind of price, you can fly it to TBO then sell it with a runout engine and wouldn't lose much money.
