The Staggerwing Beech is an icon of aircraft -- don't know if you are looking at buying it ... but the bird is an awesome piece and very hard to find ... TAZ

Great airplane. My dad almost bought one when I was around 11. They were pretty valuable then and from what I know still are. It seems to me he was going to pay in the neighborhood of $50k back in the mid 70's if I recall correctly. I see them sell for about $150k today. Very nice antique airplane and very well built.
