And therein lies the rub as they say. The price asked is not "nothing" however. The fact that it has not gone south already would probably mean that the price probably has!
There is room for someone to get a good C185 - and I think for a bit less than some of the figures quoted - although I agree there is a lot of work required, not to mention the engine.
Sad to see something like that going nowhere. The fact of where it is located is a big drawback to most likely restorers though.
