Cessna 150 Model D
An elderly friend who lives near me in Herts. has a complete, original, but dismantled Cessna 150 D type-it has an upright tailfin.( I gather that the fin was slanted for the post 1959 models.)
He used to fly this Cessna a lot but dismantled it about 15 years ago. (Due to an argument with his maintenance engineer I think) It has been stored outside, but under cover. All bolts, fastenings, etc. are complete, the prop has been stored indoors, the engine inhibited with Redex( Don't know how effective this would be?) and it has all logbooks. Airframe/engine quite low hours i think.
I am persuading him to try and sell it as it's a pity to see a classic Cessna not being used, but have no idea what sort of money early, upright fin 150's fetch. Has anybody any idea? I assume that even if the airframe is corrosion free and just needs inspection and minor work, that the engine will require overhaul/replacement. If the aircraft is not worth a lot he will keep it for old times sake, but it would be nice if it could be sold and put back in the air. Any suggestions please?
