1945 Grumman FM-2 WildcatSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • 1945 GRUMMAN FM-2 WILDCAT Single Engine Piston for sale - 2439659
This 1945 Grumman FM-2 Wildcat (N11FE, serial 86680) presents a rare opportunity to own a historically significant warbird with unique civilian modifications. With 2,829 total hours on the airframe, this regularly flown example features a distinctive 1950s-era rear fuselage conversion accommodating three passenger seats, making it one of the few Wildcats capable of carrying passengers. The aircraft underwent a complete rebuild in the 1970s and received a new Wright Cyclone R-1820-76D engine (274 hours SMOH since 2008) with extensive documented overhaul work, paired with a Hamilton Standard 33D50 propeller of equal time.
