I flew into Santa Paula airport KSZP yesterday, on a highly important mission to burn up some dead dinosaur meat.
Sitting there was what looked for all the world to be a Beech Staggerwing bare tube fuselage. It was either a "real" Staggerwing or an experimental scratch built Staggerwing. The only reason I can say something like that is because it was sitting right next to the hangar where the one-off scratch built Howard "Mullicoupe" (cross between a DGA-15 and a Mister Mulligan) was built, so there's just no shortage of capacity to take that big of a project on in this particular place
A sign said "For Sale, Best Offer" and a phone number. This airport is such that anyone you speak to will know whose airplane that is, and how to get in touch with them. Rowena, the airport manager, will know whoever it is.
There was no price listed.
I know you've been wondering just that to do with that spare 985 in your basement....
