This Tri-motor is located at the Anoka County Airport just north of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. It's part of the Golden Wings Museum a few hundred yards from my hangar. The owner Greg Herrick owns 6 flyable Tri-motors in the museum, and yes it's a beauty.
I'm sorry to see it for sale.

I changed the earlier photo of the wrong Tri-motor to the correct one here.

Sad to see it go. Based on the photos the TriMotor is already in Illinois. Rumour was that Greg was going to let John Mohr fly an aerobatic routine in this TriMotor at OSH. Too bad that never came to fruition...

I heard the insurance costs killed the idea of flying the Harold Johnson routine

This isn't his only Ford. Isn't it a great problem to have a spare or two lying around??? :)

Champ Driver; the Ford you have pictured is not the one for sale. The one you have pictured is C-1077 sn#10. That aircraft is not for sale.
The Ford for sale carry's registration # NC8610, though it was originally built as Ford 4-AT-B, sn#46, N7684.
Both aircraft are in the Golden Wings Museum's hangar at ANE.
