1978 MOONEY M20J-201

***For Sale or will consider accepting cars, trucks, motorcycles, Super Cub, J-3, Skyhawk or light Twin****

Hangered near Raleigh, NC.  Flown weekly around North Carolina; this Mooney flys exellent and very reliable. 3030 TT, 475 SMOH/SPOH, overhauled just a few years ago;  it has one of the best aircraft engines ever developed-the Lycoming IO-360.

I would also consider accepting multiple items combined, including cars, trucks, & motorcycles, or other eqpt., and airplanes, etc. This could make up the difference some. Super Cub, J-3, Skyhawk or light twin or similar desired but other planes considered also. If you can transport your items to Raleigh, NC, I may consider accepting them as part payment toward the Mooney.

Telephone: 910-292-9798, call with any questions, to discuss offers or to schedule a showing.

This would be a good opportunity for you to move up to a faster plane by easily trading your plane and maybe adding a car or/and truck or/and motorcycle to lessen your cash or financing required. After purchase, I would be glad to fly with you on several introductory flights. 

This aircraft is sold as-is, with a full refund of deposit up to the final payment due date if not completely satisfied, less the ebay sales fee of $125. Delivery may be possible.

The Mooney is a good traveling plane- speed, comfort and efficiency that is hard to beat. That is why I have owned this one 16 years. I have flown this Mooney over 900 hours since purchase. 

The Mooney is very versatile. In clear air, you can push the speed up to 160  knots, at 10 gph, at the optimal 6000 or 7000 ft. Or if choppy down low, say 3500 to 4500 ft, cruise at 155 knots, at 8.5 gph. Or, not in a hurry, slow down to 135 knots, at  7 gph.
