I suppose you'd have to get the FAA to issue an Experimental certificate since it never got beyond the prototype stage at Cessna. It looks like there's enough to be done to qualify as an amateur built experimental but you never know with the FAA.

Was thinking more like $3,500 tops...

And I confess I'm partial to planes that weren't abandoned by the company after the prototype.  | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 7,141 Likes: 204 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts! Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 7,141 Likes: 204 | hmmmm.....if i were rich, i may just have to have it.....i mean a one of a kind anything from cessna,would proabably be worth the effort. I would bet there's not too many examples of planes that cessna only built one of....
and if it was a flyable example???? think about it... Yeah, I got up close and personal with my bank account today. Uhhhh, I'm sticking with what I have (barely!). | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 535 Likes: 8 Member/500+posts | | Member/500+posts Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 535 Likes: 8 | Might be a problem to get an experimental. It was sold to a salvage yard under the understanding it be destroyed. Cessna might complaine or block any kind of experimental ticket. If not I belief it could get an experimental by being a A/C with historical interest. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 149 Member/100+posts | | Member/100+posts Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 149 | If the description is complete the vertical and Horizontal is missing. If there is the manufacturers drawings then you could recreate them. If I had cash I would take this project on as it is the only one. If I had excess cash I would have the money to put up a good fight on getting a flight permit. Does anyone have any old pics of the assembled aircraft? It looks quite boxy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_160
