    Seems expensive to me. With only 65 horsepower, it won't be much of a performer-- I'd go fly it before I made any decisions (or fly a similar one).

    I think that is an outrageous price for a restored Champ, no matter how good.

    For that kind of money you would do better with a Super Cub

    Or a Citabria. Like everybody else, I think this is way too much money.

    I bought my 1969 7ECA Citabria in 1982 for $12,500 and sold it in 1988 for $25,000.

    Citabria, any plane with airbatic spelled backwards must be very cool. I saw one leave out of CEU yesterday. Thanks for the advice. It sure looked perfect, regardless of the asking price. I think these are the types of planes that have a chance to appreciate over time.

    I think you could get a nice, older 7ECA for the kind of money you're talking about.
