1946 Luscombe 8ESingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Meridian, ID, USA

This 1946 Luscombe 8E, registered at Meridian, Idaho, is offered as a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of aviation history in near “brand new” condition following a no-expense-spared restoration completed in January 2025. The airframe shows 3198 total time, while the 150 HP Lycoming O-320 engine has just 155 hours since major overhaul—nearly doubling the original horsepower. Notable upgrades include dual in-wing fuel tanks, a remote oil filter and cooler, and vortex generators on the wings and tail for improved handling, all accessed via a two-piece engine cowl that showcases a standout powerplant.
