OK, so...a couple years ago, the allure of the Red Star aircraft caught my eye. Last year, a ride in Herb C's 52TW (at) AirVenture only served to poor raw fuel on the growing fire. Now, the seduction is complete. I feel like I GOTTA get into a Yak or CJ or I'm gonna freak out! My question is...I recently noticed an ad for a CJ import that can be purchased "as is" or in airworthy condition. The difference is substantial. How do the CJ's arrive and how much surgery do they typically need to come to life? If I get into one, I'm looking at liquidationg my projects to raise the necessary funds. (BT-13, PT-26, Stearman N2S-5 and / or C-150 - if you know of anyone looking for some rainy day hobbies!?) But I'm not finding myself getting younger, richer or with anymore substantial free time on my hands. I'd rather fly NOW than restore into my retirement and possibly never fly. So, are these "as is" imports IRAN aircarft or does it become a restoration in itself? Also, are either of the types more cost / maintenance-friendly than the other? Thanks, guys! 'Hope to joing the fun someday...!

Get a project and in a few years you can be flying it. You will be older of course and wishing you had been flying. The sweetness of low price is long forgotten after the projects sitting in the hangar still remains. Don't do it. I have a great TW and a 52 (not for sale). Lots of great planes around that you can buy. Keith has the Cj's and is a great guy and is close to you.
