I know....... This is such a wide brush to work with, I understand. But I've been asked by a family that inherited this Super Cub from their late father, what should they set their expectation at for its value if they sold it today? Of course the answer can be 50k to 150k, and I have my general opinion, but they'd like more data.
1951 PA18-125
Lycoming 0-290D, 400SMOH (noted it 'runs hot' on the oil temps). Installed in 2016 with 384 hrs SMOH.
Flying aircraft (although not much in the last 6 years) - last annual 10/2020. All ADs complied with.
Tach time shows 905hrs. TT per logs list 4906hrs.
Flaps and counterbalanced tail. Central US based.
Verbally stated to me that it was re-covered sometime in the late 70s. Looking at the photos it looks like a flyer, but given the idle nature and age of fabric, probably a candidate for a flying restoration project, which is why I have my opinion of its value. But you know...... current used airplane market value and all.
I'm still in process to get additional photos/log entries to provide more data and will add as I am able.
