1972 CESSNA 150L COMPLETE AIRFRAME, 5579 TT, NO ACCIDENT OR IMPACT DAMAGE, HAIL PINGS, CHEAP!
THE CESSNA 150 IS THE HIGHEST PRODUCTION “TRAINING” AIRCRAFT EVER PRODUCED!
WHEN GAS AND AIRPLANES WERE CHEAP, THE 150 WAS ONLY CONSIDERED A TRAINER, NOT MANY PEOPLE USED THEM AS A PERSONAL AIRPLANE, BUT IN TODAY’S SKY-HIGH AIRPLANE VALUE MARKET, AND WITH GAS AT $5-8.00 PER GALLON, MANY 150’S ARE BEING USED FOR MORE THAN JUST “TIME BUILDING”.
STARTING FROM THE FIRST 150 IN 1959, WHICH WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A CESSNA 140A WITH A NOSEWHEEL, THE 150 SERIES WAS UPDATED EVERY 2 OR 3 YEARS, WITH IMPROVEMENTS TO COMFORT, FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS, APPEARANCE AND ERGONOMICS.
THE DOORS WERE ENLARGED, THE TAIL WAS SWEPT, THE LANDING GEAR WENT FROM FLAT TO ROUND, THE SEATS WERE IMPROVED, THE DASH WAS FULLY MODERNIZED AND THE COWLINGS IMPROVED, ALL BY 1972. IN FACT, THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE AFTER 1972 WAS THE ADDITION OF A LARGER VERTICAL FIN FILLET!
THIS 1972 150L HAS ALL OF THE EARLIER IMPROVEMENTS, PLUS A LANDING LIGHT ON CENTER, WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE LIGHT!
FAIRLY LOW TOTAL TIME OF 5,579
NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED
NO IMPACT OR GROUND COLLISION DAMAGE.
BUT THE AIRPLANE WAS TIED DOWN OUTSIDE THIS SUMMER AND RECEIVED HAIL DAMAGE.
AS A RESULT OF THIS COSMETIC (NOT STRUCTURAL) HAIL DAMAGE, IT WOULD NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE TO TRY TO MAKE THIS AIRPLANE LIKE NEW AGAIN. BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN FLY IT LIKE IT IS!!
THE PERFECT BUYER WOULD HAVE A NEED FOR THIS TYPE AIRPLANE, FLIGHT TRAINING, TIME BUILDING OR PLEASURE FLYING) AND BE WILLING TO TRADE AWAY A “PERFECT APPEARANCE” FOR A MUCH LOWER PURCHASE PRICE!
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY ASKED US TO DISASSEMBLE THIS AIRPLANE FOR EASY TRANSPORT AND STORAGE, BUT WE TOOK OUR TIME AND TOOK CARE TO DO IT PROPERLY!
WE ONLY HAD TO MOVE THE AIRPLANE 50 MILES, SO WE WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE FUSELAGE 100% INTACT.
THE LANDING GEAR IS STILL INTACT AND THE AIRPLANE ROLLS EASILY ON IT’S UNDAMAGED GEAR.
THE WINGS WERE REMOVED, BUT THE CONTROL CABLES WERE UNBOLTED, NOT CUT.
THE TAIL FEATHERS AND CONTROL CABLES TO THEM WERE SIMILARILY UNBOLTED, NOT CUT.
THE DAMAGE THAT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IS SIMPLY THE REAR WINDOWS!
I WOULDN’T EXPECT ANYONE TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE WINGS, TAIL OR CONTROL SURFACE CONDITION.
2 GUYS TOOK 6 HOURS TO DISASSEMBLE THIS AIRPLANE, SO IT SHOULD GO BACK TOGETHER IN A WEEK OR SO I WOULD THINK.
NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE MOUNT, ACCESSORIES, LANDING GEAR, ETC. IN THIS HAIL EVENT!
ALL OF THE FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTS ARE INSTALLED AND INCLUDED, AND THE SIMPLE NAV-COM AND TRANSPONDER ARE INCLUDED AS WELL.
YOU WILL NOTE THAT, LIKE MOST 150’S, SOME OF THE INTERIOR PLASTICS ARE CRACKED FROM USE. LUCKILY THESE PIECES ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE AFTERMARKET, OR PADDED ALTERNATIVES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR A MOR DELUXE LOOK.
THE TIPS ON THE WINGS AND TAIL ARE NOT BROKEN.
THE MAIN GEAR TIRES LOOK ALMOST NEW.
THE CONTINENTAL 0-200 ENGINE WAS PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED, WITH WIRES AND CONTROL CABLES UNCUT, AND THE ENGINE,PROP AND ALL ACCESSORIES FORWARD OF THE UNDAMAGED MOTOR MOUNT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION.
THIS ALLOWS THE BUYER OF THIS AIRPLANE TO CHOOSE WHICH ENGINE TYPE TO REINSTALL!
WILL YOU GO BACK WITH A CONTINENTAL 0-200, THE 2ND MOST PRODUCED GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT ENGINE IN HISTORY?
AT 100 H.P., IT HAS SHOWN TO BE RELIABLE, THRIFTY AND POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR OVER 65 YEARS.
OR USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO UPGRADE TO THE LYCOMING 0-320 ENGINE, WHICH CAN BE INSTALLED IN THIS AIRFRAME BY S.T.C..
THE 0320 IS THE MOST PRODUCED GENERAL AVIATION ENGINE IN HISTORY, AND IS AVAILABLE IN 150 H.P. AND 160 H.P.
THESE ENGINES, WITH 50%-60% MORE POWER THAN THE STANDARD 0-200, GIVE THE 150 AIRFRAME "SUPER POWERS"
LOGBOOKS FOR AIRFRAME ARE INCLUDED SINCE NEW, AS WELL AS OTHER MISC PAPERWORK, W&B, ETC.
AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE
AND THE KEY!
THIS IS YOUR PERFECT, CHEAP TIMEBUILDER, OR "SUPER" 150!
DON’T MISS IT!
