Part of a project stash that I brought home this week, needs a good cleaning more than anything, some light rust in spots but mostly good. Cushions are in pretty bad shape.

Not sure of value, make me an offer, will post a price after I see what the factory is asking for a new frame.

Feel free to ask questions, can post more pics also. Local pick up in NJ preferred but can ship at buyer's expense.

Anybody have an idea what I should be asking for this seat? There aren't a ton of them out there but it isn't in great condition either. Thanks!

If i installed a wide back seat in my plane I would have to sleep on the couch for a while.

I understand that for sure. I'm either the luckiest or the unluckiest guy in the world depending on how you look at it. I can't get my wife in my Champ, on the back of my motorcycle or in my hot rod car. My dad had several Citabria's, two Decats and 3 different Champs when I was growing up. The wide rear seat is kind of a bulkhead so to speak. I'm restoring my Champ with a Citabria style baggage area (will remain original placarded baggage wt.) The wide rear seat is kind of good for giving rides in my opinion. You can plop non aviators in there and belt them in. Having said all this 90% of my flying is solo, by choice.
