A 1948 Super Navion has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

1948 “Super” Navion, top of pyramid, io-550 300 h.p., airforce scheme, beautiful, slightly hurt, cheap!… The airframe has been modified to accept the… the Continental 300 h.p. IO-550b! This particular engine… has only 647 hours since brand new (not just since overhaul)! … the interior on this airplane is unparalleled!… This aircraft has a STEC 55x altitude hold system with GPSS built in!! Top of the line, spared no expense!… A mechanic who was unfamiliar with the plane ran it up before changing the oil, but gave it full power for some reason, and the 300 h.p. engine jumped the chocks and allowed the airplane to run into a Cherokee with the right wing, and break the nose fork at the edge of the pavement… the nose fork (the wheel, chrome strut and trunion are fine), outboard wing leading edge and small amount on the tip tank is the only airframe damage that has occurred to this magnificent airframe from this event!… Sold with logbooks for airframe engine and prop, plus 337’s and other supporting materials…the fix is easy, the airplane is awesome and the price is a fraction of what the airplane was insured for!
