Description
205 ORDERED IN 1965. 36 SURVIVED VIETNAM. I BOUGHT IT A FEW YEARS AGO AND ENJOYED RESEARCHING ITS HISTORY AND RESTORING IT BACK TO 1965 AS ISSUED CONDITION FROM BELL HELICOPTER. ITS AN AWESOME PIECE OF HISTORY, AND IS THE PINICAL OF MY COLLECTION. NOTHING BEATS A HUEY GUNSHIP PERIOD. THIS SHIP STARTS AND RUNS GREAT! THERE ARE NO RECORDS FOR THIS HELO. THE LAST OWNERS THAT FLEW THIS HELO WERE THE USDA FL. FORESTERY SERVICE. THEY SURPLUSED THIS HELO, TO REPLACE IT WITH ?H- MODELS. IT IS BEING SOLD WITH NO DATA PLATE AND NO RECORDS. ENG, TRANS AND BLADES ARE MISSING SERIAL NUMBERS. ALL GUN MOUNTS, AMMO CANS, CHUTES, GUNS, AND 2.75 ROCKET PODS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. ALL GUNS ARE NON-FIREING DUMMY?S. THIS HELICOPTER WAS HANGER KEPT MOST OF ITS LIFE. BEING SOLD AS A STATIC DISPLAY THAT RUNS. RECORDS HAVE BEEN LOST. SLOW FUEL LEAK, VERY SLOW HYDROLIC LEAK. (they all leak). NO EXPORTING WITHOUT PROPER PAPERWORK PERIOD. (EUC ). THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A RUNNING & F***** GUNSHIP AT A STATIC DISPLAY PRICE. CALL ME: KEVIN-301.922.2009 CELL ANYTIME.
