I am on two FTB337G Reims for sale here in Europe but I am open to other choices
Thanks

After 27 years I currently don't have a 'known' mission for my 337
Waiting to see what it may become, but currently not sure.
Flew regularly Wash DC to Boston for years
Then commuted every day Annapolis to DC
Then to/from beach house in Hatteras next to airport for 22 years
Lots of demo of our airport tech* w high gov officials at Potomac Airfield

It is robertson RSTOL very low time everything.
Like around 600 and 200 props / engines.
Near factory new paint condition.
Meticulously maintained and upgraded over the years.
Engine and hydraulics. Windows. Paint. Interior. etc etc
New 'fantasy avidyne' avionics suite - active traffic plus all the best of everything.
It is however a 1969. That means:
1. it still has a cargo door (much preferable to NOT having cargo door post '73!).
2. Fuel system is pretty simple, but does have multi tanks.
The Turbo C&D models actually got it right.
Overflow on aux or mains fuel goes back to engine, not another tank.
You are never guessing where your excess fuel has gone.
If totallizer says you have used 20 gals in your aux, you have the rest still in aux.
Simple.
3. Single door, not air-stair.
I used to think the air star door was 'cool' until we had one on field and I got to see it.
It is very much a tunnel to enter and exit, as upper door doesn't clear the wing.
4. Six individual bucket seats, removable if desired
5. Enormous payload 1800 lbs. Full fuel plus 1000. 400 lbs luggage in 3rd row'
6. 30k ft ceiling - Yes.
I don't want to nor have any need to sell.
Just not sure what I'm going to use it for now.
But my (almost non existent) practical side might consider the possibility
if someone pushed me.
Or maybe not.
May start using it for long trips.
Simply don't' know.
