Pre purchase in Mobile area

Wasn't sure of best place for this, so posted twice. Sorry moderators.

Anyone have a line on a c-120/140 A and P or A/I for a pre purchase near Mobile, AL<

Thanks

Tom Julian in Holt, FL (approx. 25 miles from Pensacola). He or his son Stan might be able to help you. If you don't have his contact info, pm me.

Found a guy. He's even got scales and will weigh the airplane in a pre purchase. First thing I'm going to have him do.

Don't be too picky! You'll never find anything.

Not looking for perfection, and the seller is a well respected A and P A/I who has been super easy to work with long distance. Reasonably clean logs, close to weight, stuff works, no rat's nests, etc.

Well, first guy fell through due logistical issues. Any other suggestions?
