Recently I toured an elderly gentleman's hangar in South Central Michigan. "Battle Creek" is the closest large city.
Richard Fifer has an extensive inventory of C-120 and 140 parts he wants to sell. I'll include a few pictures.
He has a flyable 1948 140. It's going through annual, it's not a beauty queen, there's a bit of hail damage on the upper surfaces. It does have metalized wings and a C-90 engine. Radios are poor.
He has multiple fuselages, tail sections, gear boxes, landing gear parts, Scott 3200 tail wheels etc.
Unfortunately most of the fuselages/parts/sections there of are damaged. There are many good parts, but you would want to have the time to remove them.
He also has a dis-assembled 0-200, good for a core. He has 120/140 skis and various other parts.
In addition.......if you are an "Airplane person".
He has a 1950's C-180 that could be made to fly.......it's complete but will need a GOOD annual.
He has an older C-182 with the wings off.
He has a Kit fox project, no engine or engine mount, but the rest of it is all there. Looks new, almost ready for cover and assembly.
You can contact him at 269-303-1546.
To purchase any of this stuff you would have to drive there with a trailer, I doubt he's going to ship anything. Also, email or facebook is not his forte.

Re: Michigan Parts
Thanks Victor. Did you recall seeing any fuel gauge surround trim pieces?

Re: Michigan Parts
Too bad he's not going to ship, I would be interested in the oil tank in one of the pictures.

Re: Michigan Parts
David, he probably, would have some......but there was so much stuff that I don't recall and fuel gauge surrounds.
Blaine,......he may ship, all you can do is call and ask.

Re: Michigan Parts
Thanks for posting. I'll be home in Kalamazoo end of August, I'd like a Scott 3200 to replace my maule, hopefully I can grab one from him.
