High time or missing logs?

It is impossible to tell from the information you give, and even if you did,
I'd want to SEE the airplane. Both airplanes probably have "cores" for
engines. The one with the 25 year overhaul for sure.

Look at the guy's car....................You can just about tell EVERYTHING
about his airplane from the condition of his car.

PS: I practice what I preach. I bought my 185 virtually sight unseen. You
need to move FAST on a good airplane/deal or else someone else will snatch
it up from under your eyes. Good airplanes/deals don't last!

Hey folks,

I'm trying to decide which is preferable, a relatively low time plane
with missing logs or a higher time of the same model with all logs.

The first is a 65-year old plane with 1800 ttaf and 346 tsmoh. It's
missing the airframe logs from 1986 and older.

The other has about 3000 ttaf and about 950 on a 25 year old overhaul.
All logs present.

Both planes have Continental 65s and are the same price.

All input appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
