Maybe with an O-360 conversion, CS Prop, LR Tanks, STOL, VG's and Amphibious floats? | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,272 Likes: 25 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,272 Likes: 25 | Yes that is a very high price, and I can't fathom anyone sticking over 100 g's in a 150, but maybe the poor ones are selling for a bit too much, and the really good ones a bit too cheap. There have been some fantastic aircraft in the 30 range that are clearly worth 20 g's more than the sales of more average aircraft at 20 g's.

Especially if the interior is still original and has not been butch.......altered yet. http://www.chooseyouritem.com/airplanes/files/13794000/13794015.htmlI love seeing that term "original!"

Bill As they say in the old car industry: You can restore a car many times, but it's only original once.
