It is interesting, as Mark said, how much derision the Reimagined 150/152's were subjected to at the time. Surprisingly, folks here even poked a little fun at the AOPA for their efforts.
I don't think we were making fun of AOPA for their effort to restore a 152. We were poking at them for what the buyer would get with their selling price. For that much money, a buyer is better off buying Jim's Sierra.
