N78193, s/n 2193 Airframe TT 2165 hours
This stalled plane crashed after takeoff and sustained substantial damage. It will need completely rebuilt using donor parts form other Swifts. There are 2 basic options for this airframe, part it out or rebuild it. I’d like to sell it as an entire package. Make no mistake, this will require quite a lot of work.
So why rebuild this one? It has great improvements. Some that are not available anymore! Among others, it has:
– Dual Sticks (STC SA4855NM)
– Lycoming O-320 with constant speed prop
– Clamshell Canopy
– Baggage Aux Fuel Tank
– Gross Weight increase to 1835
– Cleavland Brakes
– Cessna 150 Seats
– Right and Left side Brake pedals
The O-320 has a bent prop flange and may have other damage. I would consider this a core without a good crank. The prop blades were curled and not useable. The hub (Hartzell HC-2CYL-1BF) does not look damaged, but it would have to be inspected.
I have disassembled most of the fuselage into component pieces. As I said above, you will need a lot of donor parts to rebuild this tail number. Many parts are useable or repairable. It was gear up when it crashed and the gear look good. The Dual Stick system did receive some damage. This could either be repaired or contact the original STC manufacturer for replacement parts. I’ve talked to him and he has some.
Attached are a sample of pictures of the main parts. If it is not pictured, I probably have it, just didn’t have a picture of it.
I do have another Swift project for sale that would include most of the donor parts needed. I will make a deal on both. Page 2 of Jay’s submission 1946 Temco (Globe) Swift Project
N80862 1946 s/n 265 Airframe TT 1516 hours
No engine or prop.
Plane flew until 1971 when the wings were removed and it was stored in a barn in PA. Corrosion throughout, some very light and the parts are very useable, like the wings. I would recommend a thorough inspection of every inch, corrosion removal where possible and replacement where it’s too bad. As you can see from the pictures, I started this process. I stripped a lot of the paint and the nose has been separated from the fuselage. The plan is to separate the center wing section from the aft fuselage to continue to mitigate the corrosion and rebuild the airplane. This will also make it easier to transport. This airframe can be rebuilt. It does not have very many modifications. There is evidence of a previous gear up landing and repair. The airframe could also be used as donor parts to rebuild another Swift. Not all parts of this airplane are good enough to use, i.e. the gear chromes have rust and pitting.

I have another project Swift for sale that could use these parts to rebuild it. I will make a deal on both.
