How do you insert pics ??[/img]

Mongo,

That's all pretty much stuff you can find on half the Super Cubs on the planet, except the metal in the oil. That means an engine, and probably a cam and followers. That's big dollars right there.

The $100,000 question is what is the fuselage tubing like? If the frame is junk due to rust, everything else is just parts. And parts aren't worth much.

Corrosion in the airframe tubing is a big problem, and hard to inspect for. I'd get a VERY competent Cub mechanic to go look at it with you.

Thanks,

I had planned on checking it out this weekend and if it is ok bidding no more than $20,000.
