Needs a price to be in the classfieds section.
 
Me talking to the guy would sound like this:

Me: “For $5k I’ll take it off your hands.”

Guy: “Deal! Best offer I’ve received!”

Me: “Ok. So how do you want to pay me?”

Guy: “Wait…you want ME to pay YOU $5k???!!!”

Me: “Yep. Then I’ll take it off your hands.”

Guy: “Well…you’re still the best offer I’ve received so…”

Lol
 
Well at least he's being up front about it instead of wasting everyone's time. Ruddervators are worth 5-10K IF they're good. Engine probably has some value as a core. It's obviously a parts plane, but there's enough value there that I wouldn't just give it the chainsaw/scrapyard treatment.

It's a shame though. Somebody loved it enough to give it a new engine and prop thirty years ago. Fifteen years ago it was probably still a flier. Time has no mercy.

Don't think @Daleandee is selling it. Particularly given the thread title.

Correct ... it's listed as a project. It's a shame to let an airplane get into a condition where it's only good for parts and even those parts would be highly suspect given the history of rodents nesting in the plane.

But as Jim pointed out, at least the seller is being upfront about what he has for sale ...
 
Kind of reminds me of this tripacer that was listed a few days ago on TAP asking $11.5...

Commentary: "The plane has been stored in an open hanger for a number of years and the control surfaces now need to be recovered"... "There is a bit of damage to the right flap, but is fixable."... Logbooks missing.

And somehow that reconciles with:

The wings and parts of the fuselage look like they're coated in moss or algae. Yet somehow still "very good condition" and listing it as an IFR airplane?

I don't think so...
