Description
OPEN TO TRADES FOR A NICE A36/G36 This is an absolutely stunning Beechcraft Staggerwing, fully restored from the ground up by Ronnie Card one of the most respected names in vintage aircraft restoration. Ronnie’s known for doing things right, and this airplane is the ultimate example of his craftsmanship. Every square inch of it is built to the highest standard, and it shows. This Staggerwing is the Oshkosh Bronze Lindy winner and is in pristine show quality, no shortcuts, no compromises. It’s not just clean — it’s flawless. The fabric, woodwork, metal, interior, paint… all done to an elite level, and still maintained in pristine, hangared condition since completion. It's as close to perfect as you’ll find. If you’ve been around vintage airplanes, you know how rare it is to find a Staggerwing done to this level. Restorations like this take serious time, talent, and money, and the end result here speaks for itself. Chances to own one like this don't come around often.
