I was forwarded this link. I don't have any further information. But up for bid is a pair of Cessna 150 (edit: 152) wings with factory long range fuel tanks. They're located at Cushing Field in Sheridan, IL [airnav.com]. The winning bidder has to arrange to pick them up.

They're listed as 152 wings, and a google search tells me they're not interchangeable - can anyone confirm/deny?

You're right, they're not interchangeable in that the flap tracks on a 152 are shorter and only allow 30 degrees of travel. Everything else should 'fit'.

However, I wouldn't count on the wings being airworthy. They're more of a complete 'kit' to allow one to modify existing standard-range wings to long-range wings. In addition to the tanks themselves you'd also need the different ribs and tank covers.
