Info on a Pacer for sale

[Marty57]

I've got a friend interrested in a Pacer for sale up in Gillette, Wy. It's listed on Barnstormers, N2950Z. It looks nice in the add; anyone know anything about this aircraft?
Thanks.

I like the color. No panel or radio info. SB 819? Brakes?
Pretty light on facts in the ad.

Steve,
Good post on buying a Short Wing; I'll pass it on. I think he has found a good candidate and has a trusted IA who is very knowledgeable and experienced in type taking a look at it for him. I made sure he was aware of the SB on the door sheet metal and the one he is interested ha had the SB complied with during recient re-cover. The one he is looking at has an O290 and he is aware of the issues with that engine and the price of the plane reflects that engine. That said, I visited Lycon a couple weeks ago and they have crates of pickled new O290's sitting on a shelf that they got in a parts buy from Greece. They weren't two concerned about parts or rebuilding an O290. They are a busy shop so they need a lot of lead time so one can't be in a hurry. That's why I have two O290D2's but that's a different story.
Thanks,
Marty
