$5K project for sale in Michigan N25436

[Andy Gelston]

Larry Kent, of Gaylord, MI stumbled on this Porterfield. He doesn't have the time to build this bird that's well on its way...so he's selling her. He will sell her for what he has in her: $5k. She has a rebuilt engine and she has been built, so far, with the utmost attention to detail. This is being listed on Barnstormers.com and there are pictures of the airframe and engine. Just look under Porterfield in the Antique-Classic category.

A look at N25436 in the FAA registry reveals this is s/n 606, a 1940 CP-50 that was previously owned by member Vic Briley. I communicated quite a bit with the mechanic he hired to restore her about ten years ago. Google "Larry Kent, of Gaylord, MI" and you'll find his phone number, or email him at
