I kinda hate to throw a monkey wrench in here, but...I recall that we recently had a very similar '63 150C in the club classifieds, that seemed much more desirable to me than this one, for about the same money.javascript:void(0)
It had terrific paint, and factory long range tanks, and was located in Iowa. It appeared to be an above average straight tail at a good price. Lori and I actually talked about the possibility of buying it to convert to a taildragger, but since we already have two airplanes that we don't fly enough, we came to our senses, and passed.
The ad appears to have expired, so I don't know the current status, but I'll look it up later today and post the ad here if it's still available so you can look into it.
