Sorry I should have said,the chieftain missing an engine sold for $45k,the one that sold for $195k was a 1973 model,TTIS 8253, RH ENG-943 to run, LH ENG-1800 to run,actually a good machine.

It doesnt reflect the value of the aircraft though,being the second in line the auctioneers moved so quick to start the bidding that people were still talking about what the previous sold for,(originally the first aircraft sold was apparently bought for around $550k but at this auction sold for $310k).
Potential bidders were caught unaware of the hammer falling at $195k so someone got themselves a bargain!
