Looks like it's already well "rotted" to me - stuff like this can't be worth anything (other than parts) can it?
Must be nice to have that much coin that you can let an airplane sit around for eons...

It's a strange mindset that causes people to keep something even though they have no intention, desire, or hope to use it again. It would be intersting to know and understand the motivations in these cases.

They clearly are not in touch with reality.
That may not be the case here, the reserve may be 7001 dollars, but still, the ad very plainly indicates that it will be a "my way or the highway" kind of sale.
Another factor here may also be the older generation's need for privacy more than money. They'd rather not mess with it rather than have someone in their barn for a month trying to get this thing to fly. I don't know nothing about that, though, I'm only 37, but I could understand it.

I wonder if the student pilot ever finished his training? The engine isn't seized (although probably a little more than well-done) as the prop position changed in the pictures. The biding already exceeds the airplanes current worth with a bad engine, even if parted out! 20 SMOH, indeed! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 10,735 Likes: 108 $ Member/10,000+ posts! | | $ Member/10,000+ posts!
