Available for sale. Piper PA-20/22 owned by my late father in law. Plane sold as is. Has some flaking paint so it may need to have some areas recovered. Plane has been in a hanger for most of its life but has not been flown in a few years. Located on a private farm in Central Missouri. Plane will most likely need to be disassembled and hauled out. Other than the paint I am not aware of any issues with the plane beyond it not being flown for a few years. Has the Lycoming 0-320, 150 HP engine

About the Piper Tri-Pacer
The Piper Tri-Pacer (PA-22) is a 1950s short-wing four-seat single, essentially the tricycle-gear (nosewheel) version of the taildragger Pacer. Its forgiving nosewheel handling made it an approachable family and training airplane during the boom years of postwar general aviation, and its steel-tube, fabric-covered "short-wing Piper" construction is simple to maintain. Affordable to buy and run, the Tri-Pacer remains a popular entry into classic four-seat ownership.
