1953 C-170-B, completely disassembled, partially restored, (wings done) fuselage stripped ready for paint. at 15k less engine.

1 of 2 engines for 2500 each. both need overhaul. A/C sold with or without.

Am I a glutton for punishment or what ?

For 15k?

Is the interior and panel all done and there?

Sure doesn't seem like a steal, or even a good deal. I'd pass for that money.

Hell yeah, go for it. You only live once.

expected selling price after you are done with it
-expected input costs to bring it to that level
-return on investment and your labor
=reasonable purchase price
