So it was last inspected in 1969, then stored indoors until 2012. Where has it been stored since 2012? was it pickled properly? I'm assuming that an overhaul after 272 hours means it was in an accident with a prop strike? Either way, why was it removed after only 11 hours?

For the price are you are assuming it's airworthy and just needs a fresh annual? Will you guarantee the parts to meet OH specs?

I'm seriously interested
