I am going to pass on the 415G project Coupe I "rescued" from a long period of inactivity. Last flight in 1995. It was manufactured in 1949. N99425 Serial 5059. The previous owner was an A & P and worked as an FAA maintenance inspector for the Seattle FSDO. He is in a nursing home. It is a complete airplane with rudder pedals. (I can remove them & restore the original configuration if wanted) Airframe logs are present since new and show 2708.93 TTAF. The engine logs are fragmented and show that the engine was installed after having been pulled from another Ercoupe. Only the logs since the installation are present. The engine log book is in poor physical condition since the binding has let the pages come loose. The engine has 742 SMOH and 368 since a top was done. The aircraft has a modern transponder and encoder installed. The Comm is a piece of junk. However a handheld will be included. I have run the engine long enough to bring the oil temps up then checked the screen and cut open the oil filter. No metal was found. The screen and filter was clean. However the leakdown found all compression to be in the middle 50s to low 60s. Since the engine was sitting so long it will need at least a top. The exhaust is in excellent condition. The airframe center section is clear of corrosion. The wings were recovered in Ceconite and will need refinishing. The present finish is Dope and will wipe off with MEK. Swiss cheese AD has been done. There is some corrosion on the ailerons but they can be cleaned. Fuel tanks do not leak. The aircraft is located in Tacoma, WA and is ready to trailer. I could help with delivery in Washington or Oregon. I need $6000.00 for this to recover my costs. I would estimate another 6-7000 to put this airplane back in top shape. Probably 2-3000 to put it in minimum shape for an annual. If interested let me know. I am being hounded for some parts but would much rather see it back in the air.
