You dodged a bullet on this deal. Count your blessings and keep moving forward
I can't tell you how many cash offers I've made, and been shown the door, over the years. Just to be called in a few weeks, or months, and had them accepted. Never get attached, and always be willing to walk away.
Yeah. Unless this owner is completely in denial, he'll see he's not gettin' any of 'em running in 90 days. Then it just depends if he wants to go on pretending he'll do it "someday soon" or needs the money more than the fantasy.
I don't know him, of course, but he sounds like so many people I've met. Otherwise intelligent and capable, but on some, more emotional topics, completely on another planet.
@@KutWrite sounds like every old car, “oh it’s not for sale I’m going to start on it soon” then you watch it rot away
Very often nostalgia defies logic. An old guy was keeping an aircraft in a hangar on an airfield where I once kept one of mine. In his late 80s he decided to stop flying when his eyes began to go and he had difficulty finding his way back after taking off and flying around for a bit but he still kept that plane in the hangar regardless. Someone contacted me via my blog and asked if I would put him in touch with the owner because he'd seen the plane mentioned on my blog and wanted to buy it for good money but the old guy didn't want to know. After 4 or 5 years he sadly passed away leaving the aircraft in the hangar and a year or so ago the owner of the airfield also died and it's now under probate in the hands of the lawyers. The last time I looked the plane was still there and I keep meaning to let the old guy's family know because as sure as eggs is eggs soon it'll disappear.
BTW Jimmy, the Aztec was always the one you should have saved. Stop banging your head against the brick wall in the form of the 310, unless you have a LOT more money than sense that is. If you are totally nuts and still need to find a black hole to pour your money into you can always return to it after the Aztec is back in the air where at least one of the hangar queens that you seem so intent on collecting needs to be at some time. Otherwise, what's the point in all of this?
I'd also point out that by considering the 310 as basically a parts donor for the Californian aircraft you yourself have pretty much recognized that it's a basket case. You only have to look in the mirror and admit it.
88 year old guy. "When I get my back fixed I'll get them annualled and I'll call you when their ready." Translation: "These planes are going to rot until my heirs sell them for junk."
Spot on
Very true, very true.
Jimmy's just bumped up against the toughest thing with negotiating for purchase of old planes..., which is, old plane owners who think that their old derelict plane(s) are worth what they paid for them back in the past..., and they don't need the money.
Despite the fact that the plane(s) haven't been maintained or cared for properly, they still want top dollar. Jimmy was right to walk away.
Exactly my thoughts. The only way they might fly someday is if the heirs give them away to get rid of them!
Could be a short wait.
It’s absurd that the seller would not sell Jimmy the 310 separately. He’ll never find a better buyer. These will go at estate auction instead.
It would be frustrating to see you throw good money after those heaps, Jimmy. Complex old turbocharged, fuel injected, geared stuff. Hell, they were only good for converting money into noise even when new. You'd be better off buying a rotten piston warbird. At least they're worth some coin when done...! Either way, I'll be watching the next episode of Jimmy's money pits with excitement...!
LOL! "Converting money into noise!"
It's a high price to pay for a "cool" N-number. Easier to change the plane's nickname or buy a custom N-number that's "cool enough."
For me, there are cooler, affordable planes that would carry Jimmy's family than an old 310, though in my younger days, that and a Comanche tickled my fancy plenty.
The poor old guy is 88; there's no way on this earth he's going to have one ready to fly in 90 days, especially considering that a table was holding it up in the hangar.
It's always the same story, in the guy's mind, he's going to fix them up, but his age and situation means that's just a dream that's becoming more and more distant with every passing day. It's hard to let go, but maybe he will see that the only way to save them is to sell them, and for a realistic price.
And very good advice, Jimmy, always be ready to walk away from a bad deal. God luck
I'm so jealous about how wealthy you must be. I'm a 10k-hour ATP/Lear captain and I would have to hit my head really hard to reach the level of blatant financial irresponsibility you demonstrate on almost every episode. I'll keep watching. It's not my money. Thanks for the fun. :)
I really enjoyed the long slow pace of this video that just let us feel like we were there checking out planes. Thanks for taking us along!
"... Any Particular city in Florida... ?" Best close in the world of editing ever. If all else fails you can make a deal with Kermit Weeks at Fantasy of Flight . you both could sell seats to see Kermit shoot at the 310 with his Warbirds. You could shoot at it with the MIG! (You will succeed Jimmy. The 310 will fly and fly safely and it will serve those in need. Count on it. The people have spoken.
You did the right thing. Walk away when it doesn't pencil out. I'm amazed how many planes are mostly abandoned.
The best person to buy a gun collection, a boat, or an airplane from is the widow.
@@jamesburns2232 tools too, they always say "oh i paid 10 bucks for this" to their wives in reality it was 200 lol
Thank you Jimmy for including us in your negotiations on the aircraft. Its hard to tell someone what thy have isn't worth as much to us as them. Hoping he will see the cost for you in getting these aircraft back in action again and reconsider.
It’s always like this when dealing with older dudes, they all think they are going to finish their projects. Those planes have been sitting for 20 years and he says he’s going to finish them in 90 days. Yeah right! Sorry Jimmy!
Not to mention he's got 4 of them, none of them flying. That's not a bunch of project planes at that point, that's a problem that needs solved.
@@Orzorn you are absolutely right, and all cost money.
You did good walking away from those. Any one of those could eat your lunch after sitting that long as you are well aware with your 310. It would cost more than they are worth just to get them ferryable, then you still have crusty interiors, ratty paint and antiquated avionics. As a factory-trained former DOM of a Cessna multi engine service center: those planes are scrap. They were incredibly expensive to operate even when I was wrenching on them in the 90's, every one was owned by a business or a rich person, both of which had the required piles of cash to safely (key word!) operate and maintain them.
Thank you for Parts 1 and 2 of this, it has been so very interesting peering under the covers of these aeroplanes and learning so much along the way. As an increasingly "older" person I can understand the "I last flew this 3 years ago..... well lets make that 10!" Time starts slipping and sliding about a bit!
I do worry about the 310, and all that mouse poo and possible corrosion. The wiring and all those hard to examine systems in the wings and fuselage do make it so hard to fully restore and be confident that nothing was missed....
Thank you for sharing the "ups and downs" of this whole process in such an entertaining way. I really enjoy your show and always look forward each new episode!
"Any particular city in Florida?" Love that quote!!!! Safe travels.
Great to have a mechanic like (I think Bob) that, he really knows his stuff when it comes to small aircraft.
Huge projects. Costly projects. It will be interesting if he gets one of these in the air in 90 days as he mentioned. Thanks for another great video, Jimmy!
Hurts my heart every time "no ill get it fixed up" sits until it turns to a pile of rust. Seen it hundreds of times.
Pity that a deal couldn’t be done, but that’s a lot to take on. Given how the seller was mistaken about the last annual ( by like 15 years) maybe he will come back with a different answer once he realises how much to get them flying again?? Love your show Jimmy
Awe spoiler alert why did this have to be the next comment i couldn't avoid seeing it even though i wasn't in the comment section!
not a chance. This owner will never get these planes flying.
@@buckmurdock2500 wheres your videos maam?
@@jcgjcg3844 33kij3r plopping d it guy u dd gg tf$add#dt
That old guy will be telling people for the next 20 years about how someone gave him such a lowball offer. Those planes will be there for 40 more years wrapped up in the executor’s court settlement.
Nothing wrong with walking (or hitch hiking) on that deal. You need an Amphib anyways. Happen to know where there is a SeeBee sitting in a hangar that needs to be put back together (it's all there) at the Massey Ranch Airpark. I have the guys number kicking around here somewhere. LOL . Hope you made it home safe !
Another great video Jimmy! Just a pity you couldn't secure the 310 alone, but after reading previous comments maybe it's time to call it on the the 310 and do the Aztec instead? Still following no matter which way you go!! Cheers from Australia
Glad you walked away. There are so many "Projects" out there, and people think they are worth a fortune.
Great vlog! Great prop wash ! Thanks Jimmy!
hope everything works out with the 310 jimmy, Awesome channel.
Gotta make sense!! Good for you Jimmy! I'll stay tuned.
LOL, Jimmy, you are such a 'Wingnut' and I Love That about you!! From these 4, I would choose the 320, 411, and then take apart the 310 to get it back home, leave the Dr Killer in CA. JMO.
Really enjoyed this Jimmy, keep up good work.
Hey Jimmy, congratulations on doing the right thing, walk away while you can.. would love to see Mighty Mouse fixed and flying. This guy will call you again. Keep up the good work, save MM; love your adventures! Make the trip home a fun one. Best regards again from Holland.
Good to see that you are ok..
That seller sounded really confused about his crafts. Like Jims wise comment on when to walk away. Smart man (most of the time).
I feel your frustration I have had similar reactions from people I have dealt with in the past .MAJOR bummer . But like you said maybe he will see the light when he actually try's to start going thru with getting them up and running again .
How many times did you get divorced... last week?
You must be killing her with all the aircrafts! Love the effort!
And save the 310!
I believe you made the correct decision Jimmy. Good job.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Jimmy, this was an interesting look at some very dirty airplanes. I am totally blown away that these units are left alone that many years and no attention. Wow. Lots of investment just left to idle away. Interesting.
Do you see this a lot where aircraft are just left to the whatever?????
Please accept my next words as mine alone. I am just saying. I am glad you passed on these. Believe these were a mess and would require a lot of expense to get going again. Do not think the owner knew exactly what he did and did not have.
Thanks jimmy. You take care.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
Retired Air Force veteran.
Walk away ,hell I’d be running !
Well done, even though the deal didn't go through. Thanks for the education.
I'm in Oregon but I have family in California VERY close to there.
I could work on /babysit these birds...
Too many unflown years. In the AF an inflown bird needed a lot of looking after and refine. Glad you have your very very knowledgeable friend helping you. You’re no pushover when it comes to airplanes. Yeah oh boy, some of those engines I’d rebuild to put in a car!!!!😂🤣😅🤣👍👍or a swamp buggy. 😵💫🫣😂
Excellent job! Thank you 😊
Your 310 was a very valuable education. Your fresh knowledge saved you today. God bless.
Howdy,
I thought you got lost, missed you the past week. Can't wait to see the 310 in the sky.
Jimmy, you sure know how to have fun and spend money! Good luck with your purchases.
Hey jimmy glad everything is okay since you didn’t upload yesterday but I also know you have been busy keep up the great work and thank you for your service!
keep going jimmy you’ll get there mate cheering you on from West Australia 😃😃
Keep looking. Maybe you can find a full engine are 2 that are stored with low hour's somewhere for a good price.
I was coughing with all the dust coming through the tv when you were looking at those plane's. :)
Good luck Jimmy. Hope you make lots of money on your aircraft. Stay safe.
You're just a glutton for.punishment Jimmy. Love it!!!
I thought the seller saying "you showed your true colors" was very insulting. Your restraint on that comment alone was impressive.
That guy on the phone is a salesman for sure. What are the odds he bought those planes in to sell then never moved them on for whatever reason. Or maybe he's selling on behalf of others. No way a random 88 year old guy ends up with such a bunch of old machines in varying states of repair - seems too weird. Anyways, it makes for good TH-cam and I'm looking forward to the next episode Jimmy. Loving the content...!
That 320 looks fast sitting still. It is a beauty!!! But I am just a TH-cam follower so Jimmy, it is up to you!
Absolutely living the dream!
Very interesting archaeology expedition.
Well, I'm betting everybody's thinking the same thing I'm thinking, wich is, if you're going to have to comply with an AD note on the 310 cranks on all 4 engines, then you may as well overhaul the ones that are on the plane now, rather than haul the other engines out here, after doing the same.
The 310 that is sitting in Fla is roached out, the wiring is totally fubar and well Jimmy went through all the reasons that it’s financially beyond help . I was hoping he could bring it back but after he went through it one kind of ends up agreeing with Jimmys assessment
@@rickjohnson1632 Yeah, once he pointed out the buckles in the nose behind the nosegear, I knew that bird needed more love than the plane is worth.
Meanwhile, he was talking about yanking the engines, and bringing them to California - and maybe splitting the cases - bringing up that $6000 AD per engine. Fwiw, may as well rebuild the engines that are already on it.
I'm loving the 411 and the 320... forget the rest ! I say keep chipping away on the 310 you have now.
Hi Jimmy, Your Beech Bonanza is a straight 35 Sn.D 147 . It's got the 185 Engine ,which is limited to 185 on take off , for a few minute , and then reduce to 2100 RPM for climb out at 165 hp.It also has the tubular main spare, which needs magnifluxed quite often, unless a spar kit is installed, and then every 500 hours. My serial number was D-1325 a 48 mod. with nose gear steering and an A model fire wall. There are AD notes on the Mags, the Spar, and the "V" tail mounting block ! There may be more, 'cause I haven't had mine for many many years. Do some home work to see if it is worth it. Bob
Great video Jimmy. And the seller has quite the story of his background as well. You might not be dancing back to Florida, but at least with the 4 aircraft, you got your share of polka-ing around!
Love the Sky Knight. They're fast. Not too many were made, but I enjoyed flying my friend's before he sold it. Not the same one though.
You are crazy pilot and I like it . Keep it up buddy . Here is comment for the TH-cam algorithm. 👌🏼
Jimmy, never sell yourself short, when your negotiating, don't lead with "I don't think you're going to like it". If they don't like it, they'll tell you and then if they ask for more behind why on the numbers. Just some tips from a pro!
Marty I’ll take three, where do I sign?!😂
That 320 is Super Nice !!
Put some tires on it and do a couple of fast taxi runs. That seems to work. LOL I mean what could go wrong? 😝
I"m glad you got someone going over the airplanes with you instead of others I've seen.
Long ago we used to fly around in a 320c ... proper planes those. Power to spare.
@4:40 - those are Mccauly Culkin props.. never leave them at home alone.
Actually made me laugh
I would love to see those planes revived, the 310 and 320 are my favorite civilian aircraft. That 411 is neat. Hopefully you can work something in the future.
Hey, Jimmy ... you're a lucky man! But please use a shop rag or paper towel when checking the oil. Thank you!
It's amazing to consider that the Bonanza is worth about as much in used control surfaces as it would be as a flying airplane. That's the current reality of magnesium.
The Vee tail has a poor reputation for safety as well.
@@chuckschultz7028 that's a myth
Buddy Holly agrees.
@@chuckschultz7028 no, it does not.
@@thomas7770 buddy holly’s pilot took off at night, was not night rated, and hit the ground. The airplane did exactly what he commanded it to do.
We love you Jimmy......Keep it up
So glad all is good after noting there was no video yesterday! This was great - wow, 4 different aircraft possibilities. But FWIW, I don't get a good vibe from that fellow, but you never know. Something might work out, or maybe it won't. Then you will know it is time to move on. One thing I know for sure is that none of those 4 aircraft will be repaired and inspected and flying in 90 days. It's just not going to happen.
Great video though - I had a blast watching and waiting to see what you found when you moved a cover or opened a door. There just something about 'things' that have been sitting in one spot for decades that grabs my attention. Thanks for the fun Jimmy!
Hey Jimmy i swear i saw you out in front of the hangar outside the south lakeland grass strip while driving home. Was going to say hi but had places to go lol
That was a sweet deal not ending up with any of those money pits!
I've never clicked a video so fast! I always look forward to your content thank you!!!
Tio bad you couldn't make a deal. Hopefully you will later on. Always enjoy your videos. Keep the faith, the 310 will fly again.
Hi Jimmy, It is best to avoid the early Bonanzas with the welded tube spar carry through and/or narrow tail surfaces which covers all Bonanzas built before 1952. Unless you get it for a price where you can invest the time to part it out, let it go. For saving the 310, the California 310 might be good but you are wise to really check out the engine issues/$$$. The old turbos in the 320?? The engines in the 411?? All depends what you want to do with the 320 and 411. I think you are seeing that in the absence of damage and/or corrosion, the Cessna light twin airframes are well built. What a shame the high $$ today with anything to do with engines.
50 years ago the E series Continentals were considered "old" engines but Continental had people who knew that engine and could offer a factory reman. Today I would say the E series engine issue eliminates Bonanzas built before 1957, unless they have the newer IO-470 STC. On the specific engines you are looking at in the 310s and 320 I assume you have spoken with Continental about any possibilities of a factory reman on any of those. You have probably already learned that the engines in the 411 are another breed both $$ wise and complexity. The 320 would be a real scooter up around 15,000' to 18,000' assuming there is an engine reman and turbo upgrade option that makes $$$ sense.
You can sense my bias toward "factory reman" on horizontally opposed aircraft engines. You have no assurance of how they were operated or maintained before the airplanes were parked. Many of us have safely flown many thousands of hours with engines that were operated and maintained by the book.
411 were maintenance nightmares when regularly flown 30years ago. 320, kinda rare, kinda cool. Bonanza is good for parts, you’ve already got 1 old 310….
Wish you could have closed the deal, but I agree, if it doesn't make sense financially, its better to walk away for now.
320 is a solid 200knot airplane. All have four windows and it has an amazing single engine performance of about 16,000 feet. great true cross country airplane.
OMG jimmy the things you get up too makes awesome videos thanks and big thumbs up
thanks Jimmy its ok Jimmy iam in Australia pass it on to someone in the USA m8 cheers .. big thumbs up tho luv your videos 👍
Thank you for this video.
Amazing video like always
Hang tuff and get flying soon remember that you have to visit St Vincent and the Grenadines 32 islands in the Caribbean
Just passed my private pilot checkride. This is the best way to end the day!
Woohoo!!! Congrats!!
Jimmy: (about to open the door on the 320)...."I feel like Indiana Jones right now."
Your Friend: "I though you was gonna say, "Dumb and Dumber".
WOW! Some people don’t keep up with the price of airplane parts and ad’s. I’ve looked at an old Bonanza that had corrosion like that, you are pretty close on your guesses. That plane isn’t worth but about 8 to 10 k…
I would do the 310 and 411 those would be the best choice
After sizing up the Planes, enough is known. Once getting back to Florida, the Seller lost his bargaining edge and will need to offer a Sweetheart Deal to bring you back. He should have realized his position and done the right thing when he had a chance. Planes seem to have a Love Affair with Owners and parting ways appears emotionally difficult!
I take my hat off to you mate I own a twin aircraft and know what the costs are of operating it and your doing it on many aircraft’s keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Jimmy,also buy a hello courier plane. My two favorites.
Man u re a real legend !
Hey Jimmy! I'm new to your channel, loving the videos! #SaveThe310
Id love if jimmy would share numbers with us, so those of us that would like to do something like this could have an idea of what to expect.
Love all your videos
He did if he cracks open any of those crank cases before he puts them back together he has to have the crank shafts checked at the tune of 6000 each 12 thousand to check 2 crank shafts
I’m sure that all of the aircraft cost a lot more than the cost of a return passenger ticket, and you will likely be able to have a drink too 😁 (from the look of your final scene - you will have this luxury without he debt 😁)-- All the best Jimmy - love your channel.
Perfect unscripted content, there are others on this platform who could learn a lot from watching Jimmy's videos 😉
cough* rebuild rescue.... cant even watch that crap anymore. sine the last clickbait cliffhanger fake fire video. and now everyone talking about his "fake" injured leg. and bogus charity.
401 *pssst*
@@scottcol23 the fire could've been real...
but you don't BBQ in your plane!
Well Jimmy, lots of stuff going on there as you know. If I was you I would do this and that and what the heck I don't know what I'm talking about. 😄 Enjoyed the show take care of that 310 now. How's your little son coming along by the way. Haven't seen him lately. Tell him I said hi. Keep crunching those numbers. See you down the airways somewhere. Adios
Someone else mentioned an old warbird restoration would be the go - i agree
Another outstanding video sir
My father had an N35 bought in '66 -'67 flew it for 20+ years and I believe it is still flying.
Wild! Mark used to be my mechanic about 1 million years ago!!! He was a Cessna Factory mechanic before that...
ah and now he's a delusional 88yr old plane junk owner!
OMG what a lot of work
Looking very nice...
All of a sudden everyone has "barn finds" lol
Jimmy, we have all seen sellers like this. Just let their stuff sit there and rot and still think it's worth way more than it is and so there it sits. That's why they have been sitting there deteriorating for way too long already. Just can't do that with airplanes. There will never be safety and reliability without major work on all of them. He should unload the pile before his family needs to do it for him at pennies on the dollar. I suggest you look at projects more in reach that you can have fun with that have not been left for so many years which require an over-abundance of risk and time to you as the new owner. Besides, we as viewers will have more fun watching you get reasonable projects up and running faster. Maybe just 1 long term BIG project on the side at a time, while you get others that are not in such bad shape flying quickly again? Good luck with all that you do and looking forward to the next video!
