MODERN SCHEME, MODERN COLORS (GOLD AND TEAL "SWISHY" STRIPES)AND BRIGHT AND SHINY !!

THE INTERIOR SIDE PANELS, DASH, PLASTICS, ETC. ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE.
ALL OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ARE MODERN AND LOOK GOOD !!
EQUIPPED WITH PILOT"S ARTICULATING FRONT SEAT (VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE AND INFINITE RECLINE)
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED FIREWALL DAMAGE DUE TO A BOUNCED LANDING ON THE NOSEGEAR. THE AIRPLANE DID NOT CRASH, AND IN FACT THE PILOT TAXIED IN UNAWARE THAT ANY DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE !!
THE NOSEGEAR ITSELF APPEARS UNDAMAGED, BUT THE CENTER LOWER FIREWALL "TUNNEL" IS WRINKLED, AND THE FIRST BELLY SKIN AND FORWARD FLOORBOARDS ARE ALSO WRINKLED
THAT IS THE FULL EXTENT OF THE AIRFRAME DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE !!!
NO LOWER COWLING DAMAGE
NO UPPER FIREWALL DAMAGE
NO ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE
NO CABIN DAMAGE AFT OF THE FORWARD FLOOR
ALL GLASS AND WINDSHIELDS ARE VERY GOOD
NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS, CONTROL SURFACES, TAIL, GEAR, ETC. !!!!
THERE ARE A FEW MISC DINGS ON THE EXTERIOR (RUDDER, SHOWN AND RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE, SHOWN), AS WELL AS A PATCH ON THE RIGHT DOOR LOWER HINGE AND A SMALL FLUSH PATCH ON THE TOP COWL. NONE OF THESE ARE A FACTOR IN THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT, AND THE AIRPLANE LOOKS GOOD OVERALL.
IN ADDITION TO THE NEWER PAINT AND NEWER INTERIOR, PLUS THE SUPER CLEAN DASH, THIS AIRPLANE HAS HAD EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE !!
AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS SINCE NEW, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK
LAST DETAILED ANNUAL 5/2017 SHOWS 12,681 TOTAL TIME, SO IT"S NO SPRING CHICKEN, BUT THE APPEARANCE AND CARE SHOWN MAKE IT SEEM MUCH "YOUNGER"
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN UNBOLTED FROM THE MOUNT (IT SUFFERED A SLIGHT PROP STRIKE) AND THE ENGINE AND ALL BOLT ON ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION
ALL WIRES AND CABLES WERE UNBOLTED PROPERLY, AND ALL OF THE HARDWARE, LORD MOUNT SETS, SCAT TUBES, ETC. ARE INCLUDED
THIS AIRPLANE HAD BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A 160 H.P. 0-320 WITH THE USE OF A RAM STC, AND THIS STC STAYS WITH THE AIRFRAME, SO THE ENGINE THAT GOES BACK IN CAN BE A 150 H.P. OR 160 H.P. WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK OR EXPENSE !!!
OR, USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INSTALL A 180 H.P. 0-360 LYCOMING ON THIS SAME ENGINE MOUNT, AND MAKE A "SUPER SKYHAWK", WITH ADDITIONAL CRUISE SPEED, BETTER CLIMB, SHORTER TAKE-OFF ROLL, AND BETTER LOAD CAPABILITY HIGH OR HOT.
