Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Airplanes Only Barn Find

Got this email from a non-member owner. If you're looking for a project, THIS one just might be a great find.



I am reaching out to the club because our family owns what we believe to be one of the lowest-time Cessna 150L's in existence.

Aircraft Details:

Model: 1970 Cessna 150L (S/N 15072387)

Total Time: 300.7 Hours

Condition: Original, stored, non-airworthy.


We are looking to find a home for this aircraft with someone who values its "survivor" status and has the passion to bring it back to a "factory-new" standard. Our family’s needs have evolved, and we are looking to trade or sell this equity to move into a Cessna 182 for IFR family travel.


Any club members or collectors who specialize in high-end 150 restorations, this airplane is for you? We want to ensure this airframe goes to someone who understands that a 300-hour 150 is a once-in-a-generation find.


Attached are a bunch of pictures of our plane past and present (broken down in my grandparents garage)

Let me know if you have any other questions or anything I can get for you. Wings are covered on the side of the house as well. Tail is in pieces in the garage. The whole plane is there.

Interesting and unique find....

Why was the aircraft disassembled at only 300 flying hours? Most go thousands before this type of disassembley might be required...

What is asking price,?

What’s the ask?
Do they have logbooks? If so can they share them at least a sample of the last few pages of each.

We have no information on that. You'll have to ask the owner:

Taking this time to remind people about the few rules we have regarding posting items for sale, in particular this one:

5. DO NOT disparage another member's merchandise, price, ad, or point out some better deal found elsewhere. If you're not interested in what he/she has for sale, move on. No comments necessary. Posts to the contrary will be deleted without notice.

But the owner is a non-member

Sounds like it’s in the owners best interest to send us over $35. Until then, as the kids say, “he’s cooked”. Ha ha ha!!!

Thank you Kirk. A good reminder for all.

I am thinking of a TV show called "This Ole Cessna..." and this is the first patient.. If only I had the time.

That would be an amazing airplane to raffle. I love the original instrument panel and single nav/com.

I highly doubt it's in our budget.

When the ad mentions that they are looking for someone who appreciates it's survivor status and will restore it to factory new condition, that tells me that it's going to be a pricy acquisition. I hope I'm wrong and that someone will buy this aircraft and restore it, I just don't think it will be us.

I’m genuinely interested at the right price however the contact info listed does not produce any response. So not sure if it’s sold or what the deal is …. I would have expected if they really wanted to move it that I could find it on one of the main steam plane sale sites … nope.
