There is a 67 C185E just listed for $215k freshly restored.

What do you guys feel about the future of C185's keeping in mind the SID's program etc. Does the type have a commercial role in say 5/10 years time ? Will GA8's or C208's or the like replace it with their seat capacity & turbine engines ... even at the high capital cost ?

Taking one back to zero time is good right ? What will it cost to own & operate a mint condition, well equipped example in say 2020 ? Over capitalisation is always an issue, but quality alway's prevails to the discerning buyer I expect, from a business perspective.
