He said that the Michigan DMV gave him hell about trying to register an
airplane as a road vehicle! He had to go two layers up the supervisory
chain to get someone who could see that it's a truck chassis with the
fuselage sitting on top. Notice the radial engine cowling parts as front
fenders, etc.
Yes, it's a DC3.

[MBZ] Anyone near Muskegon?

This is not a joke! We are regrettably selling our commercial airplane 
fuselage which once operated under Midwest Transit, then was converted 
into a flight attendant training center. This Dornier 328 offers many 
opportunities including:

1. Convert to your own tiny house
2. Convert to a RV
3. COVID-19 free flying (all at home)
4. Endless other options
While there are many working components and mechanicals throughout the 
plane, there are no working electronics.
Included in the sale is it's own dolly; capable of short distance 
transportation. You won't be able to fly it home, but you can tow it 
with a half ton pickup.
Fuselage in this condition have sold on Ebay and elsewhere for $20k+. 
Get this before some other odd ball person swings by and scoops it up.

Feel free to come by and see it, dream about it, or just tour for the fun.
Due to the overwhelming interest and dozens of messages, please feel 
free to stop by anytime 10:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. on Saturday or 
Sunday, January 23 or 24.

My address is 16230 152nd avenue, Spring Lake
