It's Official: 333C is For Sale
KFAM 222056Z AUTO 22016G31KT 10SM BKN080 13/M03 A2953
The main reason that I am putting 333C up for sale is that, well, I'm getting too old for this shit. It's getting harder and harder for me to move the airplane around. It's not "an old-lady can climb in airplane" like a Cessna 172 or a 177.
To be honest, it's kind of a flying beater. It's never been restored, just flown. It's been in a shade hangar for the last six years. It was metallized back in the day when the choice was that or do a full recover every few years. A previous owner flew it IFR. The windshields were replaced two years ago. Compressions are all good. Next annual is due in December. Might be about 4,000 hours on the airframe or so and 700 SMOH. The engine is a 165 heavy-case Franklin with an oil filter. But to be clear: This is "as-is, where-is, with all faults". It's a seventy-year old airplane. You're not getting a new airplane with a warranty or guarantee. You want that, go buy a Maule (and spend ten times as much, give or take).
Included will be a set of covers (engine and cabin). If you're going to a colder weather place, I have a Sure-Start forced-air preheater and a blanket with grommets so it can be bungeed over the cowling. I also have a Garmin 195 GPS, but that'll be extra.
I'm using a broker. I don't want to get to know whoever buys it, nor deal with the lookie-lous or tire-kickers. No offense, but I don't have the time or the patience. Also, I've owned 33C for 28 years. I feel as though I'm selling a child. I'd rather not be more involved than signing the bill of sale and cashing the check.
If you're interested, drop a comment with your email address. I'll forward it to the broker. Or send you his, whichever he wants.
