This 1929 WACO Taperwing CTO, registration N657N and serial number 3166, is an airworthy example of golden-age aviation offered at $219,000. The airframe shows 580 total hours, with only 79.5 hours since a comprehensive restoration. It is powered by a Wright R-760-8 engine delivering 225 HP, which has 80 hours since major overhaul against a TBO of 1200, and it turns a Hamilton Standard two-blade propeller, also 80 hours since overhaul. The aircraft is equipped with Bendix wheels, Vultee BT-15 brakes, and a Scott 3200 tailwheel. Complete logs accompany the aircraft, and the annual inspection was completed in November 2026.
