Let's dive into the details of this aviation project and discover the potential hidden within its wings.
This Taylorcraft BC65 comes with a backstory that adds to its allure.

Acquired by the seller's father years ago, this Taylorcraft has seen the passage of time patiently waiting for someone to breathe new life into it. While the restoration journey was started, the project remains unfinished. The seller has amassed a trove of spare parts, including lots of wing components, providing a comprehensive package for the prospective restorer. The engine was checked many years ago, and the seller assures that the necessary documentation, including engine log books and frame logs, is available for inspection. Although there's visible damage on the left side, the aircraft holds immense potential for restoration with what looks to be a well-preserved structure and collection of spare parts.
For those ready to take on the challenge and see the potential in this vintage Taylorcraft, the seller invites interested parties to call or text for more information. Better yet, schedule a visit to see the aircraft in person and envision the skies it could once again conquer.
