| Subject: | 1975 Traveler for sale |
Gary, I contacted you from Australia and I felt you fobbed me off
suggesting I=99d find something here in Australia. I already have
a damaged 79 Tiger, a damaged 76 Cheetah and another Cheetah which was
pulled down by a previous owner who thought he could have the best
Cheetah in the country but never got to put it back together. All 3
engines are nearing their 2000 hour tbo and that is why I was interested
in the Traveller, but now the value of our Dollar has dropped it makes
it a little too expensive when the cost of shipping is added. I have
imported 3 aircraft from the USA to Australia in the last few years
(from Vaccaville, CA) and could still be interested in talking further
with you.
Regards,
Peter Rosendale

So. Remember the Traveler I was trying to sell for $32,000?
That included a Power Flow Exhaust ($4,000), LoPresti nose bowl
($5,000), fresh paint ($8,000), and a newly overhauled LyCon engine with
ALL the trick stuff like =9CO=9D ringed case, new cylinders
(ported and polished), and lots of other stuff ($24,000). No takers.
So. I sold the Power Flow and dropped the price to $28,000.
So. That=99s is essentially a free plane with new paint for the
price of the LoPresti nose bowl and engine.
No takers.
So. I tried to sell the nose bowl.
No takers.
So. I tried to sell the engine several times. I thought I had it sold
for a while. The guy even has an engine with 2400+ hours on his O-320.
Even though this new O320 is a great deal and he won=99t have to
wait for a overhaul and he can be flying in a few days . . . . ???
No takers.
So. Thinking that maybe the project is too difficult for any wannabe
buyers, I thought I=99d put it partially back together and offer
it at progressively higher prices until it=99s flyable; then the
price will be for a finished plane with a fresh annual, all new
hardware.
So. The tail feathers are on; all new hardware. I even corrected the
slop in one elevator bolt by going 1/2 size larger on the bolt.
It=99ll be rigged by this weekend. It=99ll have new
batteries in the ELT. The elevator trim and all controls will be
disassemble, lead, inspected, lubed, and put back together. The tail
cone will be installed. The ELT covers installed. The annual
inspection of the empennage will be finished.
So. The asking price is currently $29,500. You finish the plane.
So. The next step is to take the interior apart, clean it up, remove
the side panels and fix them, put the seats back in, strip and repaint
the spar in situ.
Let me know if you=99re interested
Gary
