Stinson V77 Aircraft under $300,000

The Stinson V77 Reliant is a vintage cabin aircraft for buyers who want classic radial-era presence, restoration quality, and period charm more than practical transport efficiency. It is a collector/operator aircraft where authenticity, structure, fabric, engine support, and documentation define value. Compared with smaller vintage taildraggers, the Reliant is larger and more special-purpose; compared with modern utility aircraft, it is slower, rarer, and far more restoration-sensitive.
