The airplane is disassembled and would need to be reassembled by a licensed A&P mechanic in accordance with FAR part 43 and the work signed off by an A&P with an IA designation to determine airworthiness. No warranties or guarantees of any kind are expressed or implied.
Airplane flew great from Southern California to Olympia Washington, but does not fly at this time due to being in the middle of restoration so you will need to haul her away as soon as possible as I am being transferred back to California and will no longer be renting the hangar.
Fresh oil change, no metal found in old oil. Strong, barely used Gill sealed battery. Plexiglas windows in good condition.Instruments almost ready to be reinstalled, wiring almost finished. All wiring new to tail, wing tips and under panel. Estimated total time 5796.9 Hobbs time 1994.4

Slick mags 4251 and 4371. Lycoming O-235-L2C total time 5796.9 estimated TSMOH 2400 estimated but runs smooth and strong with good compressions all in the 70s, so there may have been a more recent overhaul.
MA3PA carburetor.2 RT-385A Nav/Cons with dual glideslope indicators. Numerous parts to go with it that could be sold on eBay or installed includingTelex PC4 intercom, new vertical card compass PAI-700, westberg dual egt/cht gauges etc.New fiberglass rudder cap and rudder bottom also new elevator tips and bushings not installed.
Needs interior plastic (or metal sheeting if you do it yourself) as it all had to be removed due to cracking, but the seats and seat belts are good. Paint is not pretty and some areas are bare. The left elevator is removed, new bushings installed. Rusted bolts on the tail need to be replaced, parts included.
The plane was almost always kept in a dry climate and has always been hangared in Washington.
Regarding the airworthiness question and the reconstructed logbooks:I am an A&P IA and restructured the logs from work orders and statements from prior mechanics. The original logbooks were lost by the previous owner. I have obtained all the records that the FAA had since her original airworthiness certification. In the past I have obtained replacement airworthiness certification from the FAA in similar circumstances on other airplanes.
I am in the process of rewiring the airplane completely and am continuing to work on the wiring, reinstalling the instrument panel and other work to complete the aircraft on my days off.I have been answering questions on eBay so please feel free to ask anything and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.
