    Default Good Condition Pacer Wanted!

    New Member here!

    I am looking to buy a well loved tailwheel pacer PA20/22. After debating between 180's, 170's, super cubs and huskies I have determined that a nice pacer is the one for me right now- much thanks to this forum.

    Needs to have an O-320.

    Would *like* to have dual brakes, sealed struts, good interior, fabric and mods such as wingtips are a plus.

    Not looking to haggle and get a "deal" - looking for a reasonable offer on a well cared for airplane.

    Thanks!

    This is a very nice airplane from the looks of it. Has a 0-290-D though. Still might be worth a look.

    Details on my 1956 PA 22/20:
    N3861P bought in Boise 5 years ago had been recovered. By Steves Aircraft in White city OR 1994 was hangared in eastern OR and southern ID until I bought her. Daytona white and Miami Blue poly fiber cover with Poly Tone paint. Exterior is a 8/10 interior is 7.5/10


    O320 150hp around 500 hours ECI cylinders and yes they have the AD against them requiring 50hr insp that is the bad.


    The Good:

    36 gallon fuel
    Ext wings droop tips
    Borer 82/41
    Sensenich 74/58
    Cleveland wheels and double puck brakes
    Toe brakes both sides
    Split front seats
    KY97a radio
    Pm3000 stereo intercom4 place
    KT 76a transponder
    Whelen wingtip strobes
    Alternator with recent replaced Plane Power volt reg
    Stratus USB power in panel
    31” bushwheels
    Scott 3200 tailwheel 2 bolt head
    Wheel pants and 6.00 tires
    Rear mount oil cooler
    Dual impulse mags recently done by Fish creek in Palmer
    Recent carburetor
    Oil pan preheater
    Full set Alaska Wing covers mesh strip nylon with spoilers
    Ram mount ball for Ipad in panel
    Steves 1/2 skylight
    Beefed up main gear
    Heavy duty lifetime lift struts
    Lightweight J16 Odyssey battery
    preheat plug in boot cowl
    Steves gascolators
    Sleeved aileron/flap hinges
    Atlee Dodge fuel caps
    Atlee dodge fueling steps
    Bracket airfilter
    Atlee Dodge straight skis with springs
    Airglas tail ski


    STCs removed or in logs not yet installed:
    Rudder trim(removed I have all the parts)
    Super Cub Tail surfaces (not installed yet)


    1137 lb Empty on 31” bushwheels and 82/41prop as she sits today
    2000 lb gross


    Complete weight and balance with loading schedules for pilot.


    Cruise at 94 mph Borer and 31” bushwheels


    Wheel pants covered gear cruise prop and all fairings on gear and struts cruise at 133 mph I have all the speed fairings wheel pants attach brackets hardware etc. it was all removed to beef up the gear, make inspection easier.


    Will sell with a fresh annual. I am an A&P IA Currently I have a Hot Rod muffler installed and in the process of getting a field approval. I will reinstall the factory muffler at time of sale. This field approval with COVID has turned into a lengthy pain.

    In Wasilla Alaska. I could ferry it to your location. Only selling for seed money to buy a hangar. I am building a Super Pacer stretch with long wings and a 180 hp to better work off airport.

    $45,000.00 with all listed accessories. Price can be adjusted if you do not want some of the extras like Borer prop skis or bushwheels.
