1942 Van's Aircraft RV-8Experimental Aircraft • Town of Smithtown, NY, USA

This 200 HP Vans RV-8, listed at $119,000 and located in Kings Park, NY, presents an intriguing proposition as an excellent cross-country traveler that is also capable of acrobatics. The airframe has a total time of 185 hours, while the IO360-A1B6D engine has 358 hours since major overhaul, and the new Hartzell constant speed propeller has just 31 hours. Notably, the aircraft has a history of a prop strike, following which the engine core was inspected and repaired. A new prop and spinner were installed, along with minor repair to the cowlings, with the seller stating that there was no damage to the engine mount or the fuselage.
