FOUND IN PRISTINE CONDITION BY FAMOUS NASCAR CHAMPION AND HALL OF FAME DRIVER BILL ELLIOTT. BILL BELIEVES THE CARDINAL 177RG IS THE BEST FLYING, COMFORTABLE, AND EASIEST TO GET IN AND OUT OF PLANE HE HAS FLOWN AND OWNED. THE PLANE WAS LIKE A TIME CAPSULE WITH ONLY 150 HOURS TOTAL TIME, BUT THAT WAS JUST THE START FOR BILL. HE WANTED TO KEEP THE OUTSIDE LOOK ORIGINAL (AND MOST OF THE PAINT IS) BUT MODERNIZE IT INSIDE AND UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT TO FACTORY NEW SPECS BUT BALANCED TO ONE GRAM AND THE CLYS WERE PORT MATCHED FLOWED AND A NASCAR TYPE VALVE JOB. ONCE THE FIREWALL FORWARD OVERHAUL WAS DONE IT WENT TO TORNADO ALLY FOR THE TURBO NORMALIZE CONVERSION ( WHICH IT WAS THE FIRST ONE THEY DID, SEE THERE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS AND VIDEO, THAT IS THIS PLANE). THEN TO THE NEW CUSTOM PANEL WITH GARMIN G500 W/SVT, GNS480, GNS430W, GTX327, PS ENGINERING 8000B, JPI 930, RYAN ACTIVE TRAFFIC SYSTEM, AND STEC 55X W/AUTO TRIM AND ALT PRESELECT. THE INTERIOR WAS REFURBISHED WITH LEATHER AND NEW PLASTIC AS NEEDED. THE PLANE NOW HAS 820 HOURS TOTAL TIME, THE ENGINE 392 SMOH, AND THE PROP 471 SMOH, IF YOU WANT THE BEST HERE IT IS. PLEASE CALL CARLUS GANN AT 706-638-3034 FOR ANY MORE INFO YOU MAY NEED. THANKS FOR LOOKING Current date: 2015-11-28
