Just got a call from an Ercoupe near Houston, TX, who is looking to sell a Forney F1 "project". Many mods were done and it's now ready for final paint, but the wings, rudders and vert.stabs are off. (For the novices, it's no big deal.) It has the F1A panel, Alon toe brakes, M-10 adjustable bucket seats, F1A interior trim, M-10 baggage compartment (under the hat rack), factory rudder kit, Wing AD done with Steen flush plates, Terra Com & Xponder w/encoder and a II-Morrow Loran. He has all the logs and the a/c has about 1500 hrs on it, engine about 150 on a top. Its the 90 hp, but without the vacuum pump. Leon says he's got about 20K into it since '84 (that's real easy), but will take 10K, no less. Sounds like he's just tired of workin' on it (I can relate to that!). You can call him at 713-4723-0362 or 713-472-4825 (Leon Buenger).
I really don't know any more so please don't email me with questions, I won't be able to answer them. I will tell you that after speaking with him for about an hour on the phone, my feeling is that if I had the spare 10K, I would definitely be interested in this aircraft. (I'm about 10K over budget on my Bonanza project!) It's finished value should be around 20K+. Al
