Zreyn: please contact me offline to talk about your airplane. To all the others: here's where the blue book (yada yada yada) value comes into real play: a lender will (typically) only loan up to 90% of the APPRAISED VALUE of the airplane. My plan was to temporarily finance about half the airplane; a...

To ensure I was doing my homework, I checked the price via Vref (free to AOPA members). For a 170B with an O-360, mid-time engine, their value was no higher than $33,812.24.

Greetings, All. I want to buy a 170, and I will soon be looking at a 1953 170B. It has a Lycoming O-340 engine (170 hp) with a constant speed prop. No one I know has experience with this motor (and neither do I). Apparently the 170 was one of the few applications it was approved for. I've learned th...
