Stinson sr-8e
nc-16164
s/n 9737
This
is a premier example of the legendary “Gullwing” Stinson
Reliant of the thirties. The SR-8 was the 1936 model,
and this one is powered by the 350 hp Wright R760E-2.
It was the top-of-the-line Reliant in Stinson's stable
for 1936, and arguably the best performing of the entire
Gullwing Reliant series that followed.
NC-16164
was professionally restored in 1991. The restoration
was complete and total, and accomplished by one of the
highest regarded restorers in the country. Days after
completion, it was given the “Great Grand Champion”
award at Sun 'n Fun, which means that it was not only
the Antique Grand Champion, but the BEST of the Grand
Champions of ALL categories.
We
are extremely proud to offer this elegant Gullwing.
It has the mystique and provenance of a true classic.
Here are some details:
- Stits cover with Poly
finish.
- Cleveland wheels and
brakes.
- Skytronics “Jasco”
alternator.
