John, if this looks like a fit simply search on the registration.

That's a Stinson V-77, according to the FAA.

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the strut in the right location,
but bad cowl and windshields:

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the right kind of front windshield,
but it's strut seems more forward and the side windows still
do not match:

A Stinson Reliant rudder:

But other Reliants don't have the rudder come up over the top of the
vertical stab like the picture above:

Stinson SR-9: good fit on windows, strut, door, and rudder:

Same plane, good match for strut location:

That picture also shows some gizmos under the fuselage (pitot tubes?). The
Honey Bunny seems to have gizmos in about the same location.

The step on the Honey Bunny certainly looks 100% Stinson!

This Stinson seems to have the right kind of side-windows:

Oh, DOH!

Looks like the Honey Bunny is a 1937 Stinson SR-9:

Type: Vintage
Year: 1937
Make: Stinson
Model: SR-9
Aircraft Location: , Florida, USA
Price: $62,000 - US Dollars
