Texas Taildraggers

I'm looking to buy one. They are around, but the market is small
enough tat determining market value is difficult. Compared to a
similarly equipped, same-year unmodified 150, what should the price
difference be?

Personally, I like the Cessna 140 better.

Since the 150 was never intended to be a conventional gear airplane,
the rudder is a little small.

That's why the 140 is probably a better tailwheel airplane.

And the TT looks really goofey with those short gear legs and short prop.
An early 150 converted to a tail dragger with 140 gear legs looks much
better and gets the prop up in the air where it belongs.. Then again, why
buy a fake when one can buy the original. Many 120 and 140s have had O-200s
installed and they quite handily out perform a 150 nose wheel or otherwise.

I hear that straight-tail 150's do better as taildraggers than
swept-tail ones. Is that true?
