Owned and up-kept by my father until his passing last year, this aircraft is an increasingly rare piece of American WWII history. This aircraft was flown by my father on a weekly basis and has been flown once a month since his passing in January 2016. Appraised at $160,000, I have decreased the price by $40,000 to entice a speedy purchase and cover the costs that come with buying an aircraft.

Working out a deal - The airplane is currently located in Marco Island, FL (MKY). Of course, interested buyers are encouraged to inspect the aircraft in-person. I ask only that a $1000 deposit be made before inspection so that I know the buyer is serious. This deposit is made through Paypal and is fully refundable less the Paypal fees. I am available any weekend to meet perspective buyers for the inspection. Continuing with the purchase on this eBay page will commit you to the $1000 deposit (48 hours) and the purchase of the aircraft for 120k within 14 days (assuming you are still interested after the inspection). In exchange, this eBay page will be removed to prevent competition. Should you require a payment plan, additional information, or would simply like to discuss the sale, please contact me, Bill Linsenmeyer, at 605-929-3729 or blinsenmeyer@gmail.com All standard payment methods are accepted. Wire transfer, cashiers check, or cash are preferred. The sales price is what I expect to receive and any fees incurred by the payment method are to be covered by the buyer - such as the 2.9% fee for Paypal transactions.
