1971 BEECH C-23, 2,295 TTAF, COMPLETE AIRFRAME, SLIGHT DAMAGE, CHEAP!THE C-23 IN 1971 IS CALLED A MUSKETEER CUSTOM. IN 1972, THIS SAME AIRPLANE WAS CALLED BY THE MORE COMMON NAME, THE SUNDOWNER!THIS UPDATED, MORE POWERFUL VERSION OF THE VENERABLE MUSKETEER IS A HIGHLY DESIREABLE, TRUE 4 PLACE (NICE REAR SEAT, WITH LEGROOM, PLUS A BIG BAGGAGE AREA) CROSS COUNTRY FAMILY HAULER!THIS AIRCRAFT WAS IMPORTED TO CANADA IN 1972 WITH 375 HOURS ON IT AND HAS SPENT THE REST OF IT’S LIFE THERE, ACCUMULATING ONLY 1920 HOURS THE WHOLE TIME1 (OBVIOUSLY A PERSONAL AIRPLANE, NOT A TRAINER).UNFORTUNATELY, THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN IT WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY THIS SUMMER AND WENT THROUGH A WIRE FENCE!THE LEADING EDGE OF BOTH WINGS HAVE DENTS AND THE LEFT HAS SMALL PUNCTURES, THE COWLINGS HAVE SCRAPES BUT NO SERIOUS DAMAGE AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HORIZONTAL STAB IS DENTED BENEATH THE LEADING EDGE.LOCATED IN SUNDRE, ALBERTA CANADA, JUST WEST OF THE HIGHWAY THAT TRAVELS BETWEEN CALGARY AND EDMONTON.THE DAY I WENT TO LOOK AT THE AIRPLANE, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCHES OF NEW SNOW, SO I APOLOGIZE THAT MY PHOTOS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS I WOULD LIKE. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT I CLEARED THE SNOW FROM THE AREAS OF DAMAGE WITH MY GLOVES, WHICH LEFT A DARKER COLOR TO SOME OF THE REMAINING SNOW. THE 0-360 ENGINE, PROPELLOR AND EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE AIRPLANE (PROFESSIONALLY UNBOLTED, NO WIRES OR CABLES CUT) AND THE HARDWARE AND LOOSE PIECES (AIRBOX, LORD MOUNTS, SCAT TUBING) ARE INCLUDED AND INSIDE THE PLANE.THE GREY STRIPES AND WHITE PAINT APPEAR ORIGINAL, WHILE THE RED ACCENTS TO THE WINGTIPS AND GEAR LEGS IS FRESHER.THE DAMAGE TO THE WINGS AND HORIZONTAL ARE TO LEADING EDGES ONLY, IT DID NOT AFFECT THE WING SPARS, THE WINGTIPS, THE FLAPS OR THE AILERONS.THE HORIZONTAL STAB IS DENTED, BUT THE TRIM TABS, VERTICAL FIN AND RUDDER WERE NOT DAMAGED.NONE OF THE LANDING GEAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE!THE WHEELS AND BRAKES WERE UPDATED TO CLEVELAND 199-124 NEW KITS IN 2013!THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW IN 2016THE RED INTERIOR IS IN VERY. VERY NICE CONDITION!THE DASH AND INSTRUMENTS ARE SIMILARILY NICE!AVIONICS INSTALLED INCLUDE A COLLINS AUDIO PANEL AND A DIGITAL GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR.THERE ARE TRAYS INSTALLED AND WIRED FOR A KING DIGITAL NAV-COM AND KING TRANSPONDER, BUT THE PANEL UNITS ARE NOT INCLUDED.THE DASH DOES HAVE A 4 PLACE VOICE ACTIVATED INTERCOM SYSTEM INSTALLED AND INCLUDED AND A PANEL DOCK FOR A KING HANDHELD GPS (NO UNIT).THIS AIRCRAFT IS VERY REPAIRABLE! IT WILL TAKE SOME SHEET METAL WORK OR POUNDING OUT AND PUNCTURE REPAIRS ON THE INBOARD LEFT WING. Install your choice of engine, (this airframe has used 150 h.p., 180 h.p. and 200 h.p. Lycoming engines, so there are many choices).IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AIRPLANE FOR DISPLAY, THE DENTS COULD BE POUNDED OUT AND PUTTIED UP AND IT WOULD APPEAR UNDAMAGED!OR OF COURSE, IT WILL SUPPLY LOTS OF PARTS, INCLUDING VERY NICE INSTRUMENTS, GOOD SEATS, NEWER WHEELS AND BRAKES, GEAR, TIPS, ETC., ETC.!TIED DOWN AT THE SUNDRE AIRPORT, WE WILL PAY THE NOMINAL TIEDOWN FEE UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY, AND YOU CAN PAY FOR ADDITIONAL TIME AFTER IF YOU NEED IT.NOT A BUNDLE OF PARTS, THIS IS THE WHOLE, COMPLETE AIRFRAME, WITH ALL CANADIAN LOGBOOKS SINCE IMPORT IN 1972, INCLUDING TECHNICAL AND JOURNEY LOGS.PLUS THE CANADIAN BILL OF SALEAND THE CANADIAN AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATEAND THE KEYS!PRICED LOW, SO THIS PROJECT WONT BREAK THE BANK!GOOD BIDDING!
