I have a friend that's getting up in years and is ready to hang up his David Clark headset. He owns an old Citabria and will be selling it at some point in the near future. I don't know much about Citabrias, other than I think they look like a barrel of fun. You know, like a Cub, only better Anyway, I don't think he's going to want a whole lot for it, and the thought has crossed my mind to purchase it from him, maybe fly it a little, and sell it for fun and profit. I'm not sure what these things are really worth. I've seen some on controller and trade-a-plane in the mid 40's, but I just can't see them actually selling for that. As I said before, he's a friend, so I wouldn't want to low ball the crap out of him, but I would only make an offer that I could make a few bucks off of.
I don't have any good figures at this time, but lets assume mid time engine and 3000 or less total time on the airframe. I don't even know the year.
7ECA Citabria
Lycoming O-235 115hp
Spring steel main gear
Basic steam gauges
If I recall correctly, it was re-skinned about 8-10 years ago.
Paint looks nice
Hangared since at least 1995
Flown regularly
That's about all I know right now.
So, whatcha think it's worth?
