What good are 24 year old logs... really!

Certainly having a complete set of logs since new is desirable for a number of reasons, but there is nothing in them that would preclude having to do a complete and very thorough inspection of everything, including verifying every AD and many bulletins since day one. That's something I would do anyway on any first annual. There are no life-limited parts on 150's, so even TBO and TTSN is somewhat irrelevent. Order the FAA CD and start a new set of logs. Overhaul the engine (if testing and inspection indicates the need) and repair and inspect the airframe and everything else and sign off the annual in the new logs. An airplane like this (cheap but needing repairs) is exactly what I was looking for when I bought my first 150. I didn't think I could afford an airworthy airplane, and had planned to restore a derelict like this one from the wheels up... as the plane I would keep for my remaining lifetime... NOT as an investment venture. I got lucky and found 6184G instead, and flew her home.

They don't make 150's or 152's anymore! Every single one that can be returned to service is a blessing to it's owner, and to the rest of us.

Does this count?

That's criminal...

Does this count? Why not! Looks like a pretty good engine test stand to me!

Yep, all you need is the data plate and one restorable part.


Although this one is a stretch

I tend to have a Sarcastic sense of humor! I found this on Ebay, and 6 years ago when I first started flying I would have considered it. Over time I have come to realize that the best airplane is generally one that was flying yesterday, and nothing bad has happened to it over night! You could probably buy three flying C-150's for what it would cost to return this 1000 lbs of Aluminum to flying condition. Now if it was a P-40 or a rare warbird then it would not matter what condition it was in; as to the title - I couldn't finish the sentence, apparently a limit on characters.

My N11927 may have looked much like the one on the ebay photo. In my case others had saved it from the smelter or even dismemberment. It came with so many other parts (Piper cub) that after selling the extra parts I was into it for 4 thousand dollars or less. Gotta figure to melt the credit card several times for parts. I'm getting all NEW mags,LW starter and alt.,carb and cylinders. All windows and interier new and paint. Just don't have a paint scheme yet. Thinking ribbins for trim. Would I do it again Yes. I like a challenge. This is the first Cessna to restore. Have brought Cubs back from the dead years ago. It has taken too long but had other issues that had to deal with first. But still have it. As soon as this one flys will start another. A 64 150/150.

I see you have started a bidding war ,is it the tires want .? Lol just goes to show anything will sell on eBay if the price is right

Hey its got better paint than mine. Jim were you the one adding a 150 horse to your 150?
