Hello & welcome Dave.

I just looked at that item and my personal opinion is that it is not a
coupe.  I don't know what it is, but I do not know of anything like that
produced, especially not in 1966.  Also, take note of the "EXPERIMENTAL"
placard on the canopy.

As far as I know, there was only one four seat coupe ever built and it
was only about 90% completed at the factory.  It is currently owned by
Marv Dunlap and that thing ain't it!

I'm sure so of the other more learned members of this forum will offer
more and more precise information.

Patience is the key to finding a coupe.

 

Again, Welcome

Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Introduction

 

I have been reading this group for about 2 years, and am just now
starting my Sport Pilot training. Fell in lust with the Ercoupe when
Young Eagles took my grandaughter up (and with me in another 'coupe to
photograph). Hopefully I will be getting one of my own soon.
But the real reason for this message is I have stumbled across an ad on 
http://www.aircraftowner.com/ <http://www.aircraftowner.com/>  for a 4
seat Ercoupe XA-4, and wanted to
advise the list about it. You will have to search their listings
(can't seem to figure out the direct link). It is commented:
"1966 Alon XA-4. FOUR SEAT Ercoupe. Only one factory built. 400 hrs.
total time, 150 h.p. Lycoming / McCaully constant speed prop (just
overhauled), certified 'Experimental' category." 
Interesting...
