DC-7 For Cheap?

[CoastieJohn]

This is the one that is at the New Smyrna airport. It was supposed to be converted to a restaurant. It is the one that was on a Shipping Wars episode. The word is the money ran short. This maybe an opportunity for someone interested in DC-7's. A Coastie buddy's dad flew this specific airframe when it was with American Airlines.

Last time I seen it the tail was on. Not sure why it's off??

Just got this word below.....supposed to be more pics of it. I don't (won't) do Facebook.

There is also a Facebook page for those that are looking for it they just have to type in "DC-7 Grill"

Hey, alocal guy was once selling two C-45's, but the outter wings, engine cowls and control surfaces were all extra.

Word has it that due the Federal Disabilities act this want to be restaurants has to conform to the regulations. That would be a elevator or ramp to get into it and the big one is a wash-room that a disabled person can use. No if or buts as to an exception to the act.

As for the aeroplane is complete from what I have seen.

The overpass may have taken care of the vertical.
