1941 Aeronca 65Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Dickinson, TX, USA

This 1941 Aeronca 65, carrying the registration 49087 and serial number 42-7796, is a genuine piece of pre-World War II aviation history, built just one month before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Representing the oldest known serial number of the O-58 series, this two-seat, VFR-only warbird saw service during World War II before being sold by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Now offered at $59,000 from a location in Dickinson, Texas, the aircraft is described as an Antique/Classic and Rebuildable Warbird that needs to be finished, with all the major work reportedly already completed.
