Used Auto Pilot Questions

[cessnadriver]

Hello ALL.
I understand that what I had proposed was a little crazy, but I wanted to know you guys' thoughts. It pretty straight forward that most are against it. I don't exactly know if my bird had an auto-pilot in it due to MOST records are gone. I do see some kind of multiple-pin "cannon" plug in the wings and booms indicating , maybe, an auto-pilot was installed at one time. I certainly DON'T want to put $5000-$10,000 into a single axis auto-pilot to help relieve some of the pilot chores!! I appreciate your thoughts.
