CESSNA 150
Vehicle Description

1958 CESSNA 150 STRAIGHT TAIL, CUTE AND CHEAP!!

 

THIS  HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST UNIQUE PAINT SCHEME  EVER ON A CESSNA 150!!

 

THIS NEAT LOOKING AIRPLANE IS VERY EYE CATCHING, AND YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED BY EVERYONE WHO SEES YOU WITH IT!!

 

THIS 1958 150 IS THE ORIGINAL “STRAIGHT TAIL” BODY STYLE.  THIS “FASTBACK” STYLING IS FASTER BY A KNOT OR TWO THAN THE LATER DESIGN AND IS A “CLASSIC” LOOK.

 

ALTHOUGH THE 150 HAS BEEN PRIMARILY A TRAINING TYPE OF AIRPLANE IN THE PAST, WITH HIGH FUEL PRICES AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW "LIGHT SPORT" AIRPLANES, THE 150 IS BEING BOUGHT ONLY BY STUDENTS AND LOW TIME PILOTS, BUT BY MORE EXPERIENCED PILOTS THAT REALIZE 5 GALLONS PER HOUR FOR A 2 SEAT AIRPLANE THAT COSTS LESS THAN 10% OF A NEW LIGHT SPORT IS A GREAT VALUE !!

 

MAKE THIS CUTE CLASSIC YOUR FIRST AIRPLANE OR YOUR RETIREMENT AIRPLANE !!

 

THIS AIRPLANE HAS ONLY 4942 HOURS TOTAL TIME SINCE NEW.

 

WE HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LOGBOOKS AND THE ORIGINAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.

 

THE O200 ENGINE HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY STC TO BURN AUTO FUEL, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A 30-40% SAVINGS IN OPERATING COSTS!!

 

IT HAS ALSO BEEN MODIFIED TO ELIMINATE THE “PULL TO START” CABLE (THE MOST OLD FASHIONED FEATURE OF THE OLDER 150’S) BY ADDITION OF A LIGHTWEIGHT PUSH BUTTON SKYTECH STARTER.

 

THE ENGINE HAS 2041 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, 1064 HOURS SINCE TOP OVERHAUL, AND GOOD COMPRESSIONS ON ALL CYLINDERS.  LAST ENTRY WITH NUMBERS LISTED WERE

70,  66, 74, 68 OVER 80.

 

THE LAST ANNUAL JUST EXPIRED 5 DAYS AGO, ON 10/30/2009, SO AN ANNUAL INSPECTION ON SITE, OR A FERRY PERMIT TO FLY TO YOUR AIRPORT,  WILL BE REQUIRED.

 

FULLY EQUIPPED FOR DAY/NIGHT VFR FLIGHT, INCLUDING:

 

*KING KX170B SOLID STATE 720 CHANNEL NAC-COM

 

*SOLID STATE MODE "C" TRANSPONDER WITH MODE "C"ENCODER

 

*SIGTRONICS SPA-400 VOICE ACTIVATED INTERCOM

 

THE INTERIOR SEATS AND HEADLINER LOOK GOOD, AND THE DASH IS CLEAN AND WELL LAID OUT

 

*ATTITUDE AND DIRECTIONAL GYROS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO THE LATE STYLE

 

THE NARCO ELT-10 ELT SEEMS TO HAVE SPRUNG A BATTERY LEAK, BUT WE WILL SUPPLY AN ELT-10 TO REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE TO THE BUYER FROM OUR STOCK.

 

THE AIRPLANE HAS SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT AREAS OF SMALL HAIL, BUT IT IS NOT NOTICABLE ON MOST SURFACES, AND ONLY REALLY NOTICIBLE IF YOU LOOK FOR IT ON ONE SIDE OF THE TAIL.  AIRWORTHINESS IS NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECTED, AND NO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED TO FLY THE AIRPLANE.

 

LOCATED AT THE GRAYSON COUNTY AIRPORT, DENISON TEXAS , 1 ½ HOURS NORTH OF DALLAS TX.  AS WE ARE LOCATED IN  MINNEAPOLIS, 950 MILES FROM THE AIRPLANE, I’M AFRAID WE CANNOT SUPPLY ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE MECHANICS ON THE FIELD.  THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 FBO’S AND PRESUMABLY MORE SMALL OPERATORS, SO IT SHOULD BE EASY.  I JUST DON’T HAVE NAMES OR PHONE NUMBERS, SORRY.

 

FLY THIS BABY HOME FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE OF A USED CAR!!

 

THIS IS PROBIBLY THE LOWEST PRICED GOOD FLYING AIRPLANE WE HAVE EVER SOLD, DON'T LET SOMEONE ELSE FULFILL THIER DREAM AND MAKE YOU MISS OUT ON YOURS !!

  

STORAGE WILL BE PAID THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER, AND IS AVAILABLE THEREAFTER FOR $75 PER MONTH.

 

 

 

AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN MINNESOTA, NOT TEXAS WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.

WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.

REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.

THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!

AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !

WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS THE "PLATINUM POWERSELLER" IN THE USED AIRCRAFT REBUILDABLE MARKET!

WE ARE THE REAL BRICK AND MORTAR WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT YOU HAVE SEEN ADVERTISED ON PAGE 6 OF TRADE-A-PLANE, AT OUR BOOTHS AT OSHKOSH, SUN-AND-FUN, AOPA, AND ELSEWHERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS !!!!

WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, SO WHEN YOU BUY AN ITEM THROUGH EBAY FROM US, YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT WE WILL LIST ALL ITEMS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, AND THAT WE WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY.

PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS THROUGH THE LISTING(ASK SELLER A QUESTION), BECAUSE THESE QUESTIONS GET ANSWERED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

PLEASE DON'T ASSUME. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY FACET OF ONE OF OUR LISTINGS, PLEASE ASK !

SO THAT ALL BIDDERS HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION,WE PREFER NOT TO ANSWER DETAIL QUESTIONS BY PHONE. OUR PHONE SALES STAFF HAS NO DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF THE ITEMS ON EBAY.

DUE TO THE AUCTION FORMAT, IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR FOR THE HIGH BIDDER NOT TO BUY THE ITEM LISTED, SO TREAT YOUR BID LIKE A HANDSHAKE!!

YOUR BID IS NOT A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, BUT RATHER A CONTRACT TO BUY OUR AIRPLANE AT YOUR BID PRICE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE EITHER THE DEPOSIT OR THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT BY THIER REQUIRED DUE DATES, PLEASE DO NOT BID.

A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $2,000 IS DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF THE BID CLOSING. WE PREFER PAYPAL FOR THIS DEPOSIT, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYPAL, LET US KNOW, AND WE WILL HELP YOU FIND AN ALTERNATIVE.

THE BALANCE OF THE PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF BID CLOSE. THESE FUNDS CAN BE BY WIRE TRANSFER, BANK OR CASHIERS CHECK, CASH, OR ANY COMBINATION. FULL PAYMENT IS DUE BY TIME STATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE VIEWED THE AIRCRAFT. BID ACCORDINGLY.

A BID ON THIS ITEM IS NOT A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL,BUT AN OFFER TO BUY OUR ITEM AT YOUR PRICE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION OR FUNDS TO BUY, DO NOT BID !!!!

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THIS LISTING, AND BE SURE TO CLICK "SEE SELLERS OTHER AUCTIONS" FOR MORE ITEMS YOU NEED OR WANT!

WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT NEVER OFFERS SECOND CHANCE OFFERS, EVER!!! IF YOU RECEIVE A SECOND CHANCE OFFER ON ONE OF OUR LISTINGS, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IT IS A SCAM!!! DO NOT ANSWER, OPEN, OR RESPOND TO THESE "OFFERS"AS THEY WILL NOT BE FROM US!!!
