Just when you thought you've seen it all. Wings and Wheels has listed a beautifully restored 2-33 for a mere $75K http://wingsandwheels.com/classifieds
When its 100 degrees in Texas and you take a auto in a 2-33 and catch a 6 knot thermal to cloud base at 7500, there is really nothing in soaring quite as sweet being in the back seat with the window open to that 65 degree air on your left arm resting on the edge of the open window. If you have not made a big climb in the back seat of a 2-33, you might not really know what soaring is all about.

Or when it's a 45 degree April Sunday in Ohio and you take a tow in a 2-33 to catch a 3 knot thermal to cloudbase at 5500 and run out to Middletown and back under a dark cloud street there's nothing as cold as being in the back seat with your coat pulled up around your ears and your hands jammed down in your pockets and sleet howling in all around the canopy. If you have not frozen your a** off in the back seat of a 2-33, you might not really know what soaring is all about.
