the whereabouts of 3832V
I've had several members ask me who the insurance company sold my '48 170 to (N3832V SN 18690).
AIG says Wentworth bought it. This is my best guess of what was salvageable from the plane:
1. both wings, struts and associated flight controls were undamaged.
2. empenage was undamaged
3. seats are ok
4. doors seemed ok
5. the engine was stopped when I hit... no visable damage so it might be rebuildable... The slick Mags only had about 200 hrs, the alternator about 300.
6. fuselage & cowl is toast
all of this is a best guess... I'm no mechanic!

Re: the whereabouts of 3832V
I know this thread is long dead. However, I have part of 3832V in Dublin (Ireland). Some of her empennage will be grafted onto 4180V, who took a knock in Florida thanks to a ground loop and an airport sign! She came out of her shipping container today and the project will begin on Saturday as her interior starts coming out.
I've started documenting the renovation at https://www.taildragger.eu/ for anyone that's interested.
Cheers,
Gareth.

Gareth,
Thank you for posting the link to your C170 restoration blog, very interesting for us flat landers to follow your project back on the "Old Sod".
One early question, do you know why the engine cowling has a blister on the right front lower cowl?

My guess is a later style Hanlon-Wilson C172 muffler was installed.

Hey John,
I've only started getting properly into her paperwork. She's had two O-300s to date a -A and a -D. I haven't seen anything in the STCs etc. regarding the blisters: they're actually on both sides. I'll keep an eye out in the paperwork.

Re: the whereabouts of 3832V
Richard is correct. Blisters such as those are required when someone uses the wrong Hanlon Wilson exhaust system from a later 172.

Re: the whereabouts of 3832V
Likely because a complete engine assy from a 172 was installed into a 170 instead of using the correct exhaust system. (Technically the exhaust system is an airframe part, not an engine part.)

Looks like it has the mumps and needs to make a trip to the doctor
