Jazzman:
You should contact Stephen Brown, the owner of N1ZJ... you'd do better by this bird than N403V. Why? Because it's a model year newer, has R/STOL, is plumbed for boots, has the ice light, hot prop, is equipped with American Aviation Intercoolers, a complete new leather interior and has a Garmin 430, plus original 400A A/P, w/IFCS and flight director, HSI, plus fresh engines and new paint. This bird has no previous damage history. I'll just bet that he's got at least $170,000 into it and he first listed it for $225K. He's dropped the price to $198K, and seeing how it's been on the market for some time, you might be able to strike a really good deal if the A/C is to your liking. I've attached a photo.
This is the bird I was telling you about that we'd bid on and I've been through all the original paperwork on it when Sacremento Aviation had it before the bank took it. I believe this '77 offers the most bang for the buck... save maybe for air conditioning -- "IF" you really have to have it. And who knows, maybe you could get her for less than the asking price.
What part of the country are you located?
