The Canadian '60 model seller came back and only lowered his price to $18,750.
Given it's got 1100 hours on the engine, pretty crappy paint, and it's located a long way from me...the '59 in the US is way better.
I got the FAA CD in the mail the other day - some interesting things:
- 1962 incident - firewall & engine mounts
- 1963 repair - crack repair in fuselage skin to left front of stabilzer fitting
- 1966 repair plate riveted to ruder spar to repair crack developed between 2 rivets at rear of rudder hinge attachment
- Sold in 1986 for $2500
- Aircraft picked up by the airport manager at auction in 1993 for $2900
- Current owner purchsed in 1993 for $10,000
- New Imron paint, new engine, new radio...and now it's selling for $22
The rudder and tailcone repairs are the result of "normal" problems experienced by almost all 150's of this vintage. There are Cessna Service Letters and Kits or parts to repair or strengthen both of these areas.
