Exclamation 1967 O2B Skymaster "Saigon Express" up for no-reserve auction!

EDIT - I don't think this is a real O2B. The USAF serial number painted on it does not show up in the database. Also, I can see the spinner backing plate is still on the front prop. I'm no O2b expert, so if I'm wrong, please correct me!

I just received notice of this:

By order of the US Bankruptcy court, Cessna 337 serial 337-0267, will be sold to the highest bidder on January 27, 2021.

Not sure if its a real O2B, or just painted to look like one. No spinners installed.

Missing main landing gear wheels & brakes, interior, seats, perhaps others things as well.

Last annual 2002.

Appears to have STOL kit - not sure if its Horton or Robertson? Anyone who can tell, please look at pics and let us know.

950 SMOH front/rear 2275 TTAF. Includes complete airframe and engine logs.

Contact me if you have any interest. I can get a 1967 337 for about $5k without the engines. Combine these two into one perhaps?

I spoke with the auctioneer, and the owner may have the interior and seats at his home. He supposedly had them all recovered, but he isn't cooperating with the bankruptcy court. He was forced into BK by his creditors, apparently.

This is a Owl/Horton kit, not a Robertson.

The flaps are down, but the ailerons are straight AND there are no telltale exposed nuts for the bellcranks under the outer wings.
