Man, how do they expect $425,000 out of something in that condition?

Ain't gonna happen! I'll bet he gets around 150k, if that.

I think the Fighter Factory sold a pretty clean airframe w/ low corrosion, and just bad spars for $200k.

It's a one of a kind aircraft... that will make for a higher value. I don't think they did a good job of showing the aircraft in the photos though. Sad to see Lex sell her, but it will be something else to see her finally restored.

Cheers,
Richard

If you're going to sprout unqualified statements like this
sign your name so Lex can thank you personally

It's a one of a kind aircraft with a government history

I would have thought that the majority of warbirds have a "Government history"?

Ah yes, but not Lex's special kind of "Government history"!

Sad to see he wants to part with it though.

This is why he is selling it

My aircraft painting business is just now 2 years old. Last year I was as much as 6 months backloged with work. In November of 08 the work and the phone calls ceased. I now have just one plane in the hanger and a couple more on the way.

I think we are all in for a time of higher stress! I am glad for the occasional good laugh this site generates.

Occasionally someone on WIX posts something along the lines of "Why don't we pool our money and sponser a WIX airplane or restoration?"

Well? Here's a good one to do it with. Just a crazy thought...

I was thinking the same thing when I saw your post. The lineage of this aircraft is pretty well documented with who was where with what at the time of the mishap. I know that ifin I had as much cash as the ever so fortunate PA, That she would be in my Restoration Hangar in a New York Second.

Sad that Lex has to sell it. . . he deserves the plane but alas money does not grow on trees.
