Damage history:
Please review logbooks thoroughly for aircraft history. I am not aware of any major damage history on the aircraft.
I was told by Kevin that the plane was taxied into a parked truck. No fuselage damage but the prop was damaged. The engine was rebuilt. When I bought it, I paid Kevin to swap the C145 engine for a low time O300A he owned. The top overhaul was done in order to obtain new upper end engine parts as well as chrome cylinders for longer engine life.
