    Auction Description

    Summers Planes, Autos, Estate Auction Hawkins County Tennessee by Kimball Sterling
    James Summers Estate Auction Saturday October 17th 10:00 am ( Preview 9 am) Hawkins County Tennessee Airport 675 Main Street Surgoinsville, Tennessee 37873 Aircraft update: log books are in the hands of the mechanic doing annuals. He begins Oct. 1st. This is the estate of James Summers. A local flying legend to many ,who was killed when he crashed his Ercoupe 415-CD on May 15 ,2020 ( you can google his name the crash and find the details) by clipping some trees near the runway at Hawkins County airport at the age of 83. There is no reserve of all items belonging to the estate. They will sell to the highest bidder.This auction will consist of three of his planes. A 1941 L-3 Aeronca painted with Army green and insignias, A 1940 Piper Cub Coupe J4-A and a 1946 Aeronca 7ac Champ , (The estate executor is now doing annuals on the planes and we expect to have those done by sale day), 1957 Studerbaker Silver Hawk( this car will need some work however it will start), 1973 Volvo 1800, and two other usable vehicles, large group of tools and aeronautical parts and pieces, shop equipment, tool boxes and tools , desk, airplane prints, propellers and place parts for restaurant decoration, A pair of Mid-Century Style molded hand chairs, fans, mowers and much more. Plane Buyers- These planes are being sold to the highest bidder the morning of the auction. The three planes have been in three hangers for the past three years being not flown. We are getting annuals done on each plane. High bidder can take their plane with them if they trust them to fly or the Hawkins County airport offers tie downs ( and maybe hanger space- feel free to contact them). All paperwork that we have found in the estate will be available on the Friday preview. You are buying the planes as is where is with no warranty. Fly at your own risk. In some of the photos the tires are flat. We will air those up before the auction. For the plane buyers we will have a private preview Friday from 11 am till 3. If you would like to drive in or fly in feel free. We will have the planes out for you to see and investigate with all the paperwork that we have. Mr. Summers flew his Arcoupe the last three years of his life and the other planes sit in the hangers. If the annuals check out we hope to have a pilot fly the planes the day of the auction. Nothing else will be previewed the Friday before the auction. Only planes. We are not airplane dealers but auctioneers. I know you would expect more from a private seller but we are doing what we cane do. These planes are going to sell and I m sure it would be worth a trip to Tennessee if you are looking for a plane.
