FOR SALE: Complete 1946 140 - Salvage or project
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2022 7:36 pm
I too have a 1946 C140-85 Continental 420SMOH nice paint and fabric, radios, EGT / EHT electronic leaning, in annual, flown regularly, Cleveland brakes, Scott tailwheel, just a few issues after groundloop and flip. Wingtip from end of main spar out needs repair, cown needs repair, engine mounts tubing replacement needed, Front strut needs replaced. Insurance waiting on my decision to keep it for salvage value or take the total hull value. Nobody has jumped at what I consider a wonderful opportunity for somebody who is a builder/restorer, wanting to get a very nice Cessna c140 1946. Good paint and interior. I need some help in posting SALVAGE for sale. Not sure its value, but if that engine passes flange test, it alone might be worth the salvage value price. Even with a tear down it still might. Or possibly with a Continental TCM teardown it still might, for somebody who is younger and better trained that I.
