"Oh yeah, and rebuild the engine" = lol, yeah

Asking was $30k, got it to around $25k. It'd be a good deal, but the engine is going to cost $15k+ to overhaul. Now you're talking $40k+ for a O-235 long ez with a GU canard that needs a lot of other TLC. Props a very old cruise prop that's been overhauled numerous times, needs new tires, new battery, the weight and balance looked questionable, etc, etc.

I think the point to de-registering it was to remove any potential liability, not sure. It has Airworthy cert.

Saw this one on a FB page.  Fairly complete with O-235 in Florida.  No price

I'll save you guys the hassle regarding 44TJ. Enclosed Oil Report.

Lots of metal in the engine; Titanium and Tin which could be the babbet sleeves and  crankshaft, which = Complete Overhaul

The Owner knows his engine has a problem, but is still selling at too high of a price. Will only sell as De-register. Will not remove engine, etc.

Be careful.
