Piper 1956 1956 Piper Pacer PA 22 20 project. Nothing firewall forward but the engine mount. This is.
Item specifics
| Make: | Piper | Model Year: | 1956 |
I did not dismantle the aircraft, but purchased it this way a couple years ago with the intention of repairing it. However, since then I have purchased a flying Citabria and a Cessna Cardinal, there is obviously not any work getting done while I am flying. The main reason I purchased it was because of the Univair conversion and paperwork already being done (price the conversion and you will understand) and also the meticulous labeling of whoever dismantled it. There are literally boxes and boxes of parts, but everything appears to be accounted for and labeled neatly.
The fuselage is in great shape with no corrosion issues that I have noticed. It is in zinc chromate. The replacement gear leg has not been put in zinc and is starting to show some surface rust through the factory primer. Everything appears to be here--tail brace wires, control surfaces, headliner, toe brakes, original yokes, brake cylinders, struts (not sealed) back seat heater tubes etc. etc.. I am sure there is SOMETHING missing but it sure looked very, very complete when I bought it. The only thing I have noticed is missing is the altimeter so far. You provide the firewall forward. The boot cowl was also damaged in the landing incident and is probably only useful as a pattern. The tailwheel is a small maule I think, but it should probably be a Scott 3200.
In fairness to all who are interested, I will not disclose the reserve. Also, PLEASE NO EMAILS. Instead, feel free to call me at 319 three six zero 0911 and I would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. The aircraft is hangared at the Marion, Iowa (C17) airport and can remain in my hangar for a reasonable amount of time. I expect a deposit of $500 within 48 hours and the remainder in cash or a bank wire. The airplane will not be released until paid for in this manner.
PLEASE CALL ME WITH REASONABLE OFFERS. My wife says it has to go. 319.three-six-zero.0911
No emails, thanks!

Pete 319 three sixty 0911On Jun-14-15 at 20:23:35 PDT, seller added the following information:I just realized I was not clear about the logs. This aircraft has all logs since day one. The paperwork is much better than average in my opinion. Just going through them quickly and from memory it appears it was in the Pennsylvania/New York area for many years and then moved into the Midwest.
Thanks! Pete
On Jul-31-15 at 22:41:59 PDT, seller added the following information:Just to be clear, all the logs and 337s are present and the paperwork is in very good order considering this is a 60 year old airplane. I went out to see the airplane today to answer some questions for some of you and noticed a few areas of light pitting in some of the zinc chromate, mainly below the front seat. This may need spot blasted and re-primed. The damage from the landing incident has been repaired and signed off. There are no bent tubes or missing brackets etc etc. It appears to me that the fuselage is very close to being ready for cover. The wings show well but do have some cosmetic flaws like some very minor lifting of paint etc. etc. Nothing any worse than my flying Citabria which has plenty of ramp appeal and what you would expect from any covering/paint that has seen some air time. If you want to win a trophy at Oshkosh, you would need to re-finish the wings, if you want to go flying, they look fine to me. This is a great project to finish YOUR WAY and to know EXACTLY what you are strapping your butt into when you are done. The wife says three airplanes is one too many so this one needs to go--I have to act because any wife that is ok with two is hard to find!. Feel free to contact me with any questions at 319 three sixty 0911. Thanks and good luck! Pete Current date: 2015-08-12
