Looks like Edelbrock's old 1000B (matching CN), but like the splash page.  West coast canada/cali delivered all the way to S. Africa.

I have to say, though, that I would love to try flying a well sorted 680F (if one exists). I think they are one of the neatest airplanes Commander built, along with the 980 and the 695B.

What is a Superstar II, again? I get the models confused.

I had a 601P with the Super 700 conversion.

Not a lot of evidence that it has flown recently. If it doesn't have ADS-B, and I don't think it does, that's a pretty big clue.

Google will also show you some pictures of it from the last few years... not as pretty as in the ad.

That said, with a fresh annual, no squawks, zero time engines with no questions... might be worth $100k. But keep in mind the annual will probably be close to that number, unless I am missing something.

I see the flying magazine aircraft sales site is advertising an 680F for ONLY $ 362,900. Zero time engines and a nice interior and paint but boat anchor radios. Just out of curiosity what would be a reasonable price for this airplane.

Asking for a friend ☺️

Mr. mysterious, suspense is killing me. I hope it is a B-26.

Sorry to see her go... don't be a stranger around here!

The Aerostar is a great airplane, although I haven't flown one without intercoolers.

Is the new owner keeping the 681 as well?

Well, bye bye sweet N171AT. Sold. Dropped her off in San Bernardino this afternoon. New owner is enroute to Florida as we speak. He has Stan's Perkins 681 since prior, so is well versed in the model.

We had a little hiccup with fuel leaking out all over tarmac upon fillup before delivery, just before closing of contract (of course). I was frustrated beyond belief and feared the worst, a ruptured bladder (which would scupper sale for sure). But luckily, new owner is an A&P IA and after opening up some panels on top of wing, we concluded it was fuel line to engine that was leaking. A day later new one was in, I fired her up this afternoon and flew the short trip to KSBD without problems.

But wait - I seem to have picked up another Ted Smith thingy on the way back? Can't shake Ted!  ;)

I'll still offer moral support here!  8)

Glad to hear it, Glenn!

What are plans for the 12? Rebuild the nose?
