I just called and talked with Tony, and the plane sounds like it is very very lightly used, but taken care of with pre-oiling, etc., and living in a heated hanger in Wisconsin, along with his P-51, T-6, et al.
It's the right color scheme: Pitts red/white burst.
The only real ding I can find is that it still has the original 1987 factory fabric. If this is not a problem in the immediate future (5 years?) then this sounds great for me. If it's more likely that it really need replacing sooner, that sounds like a $30k hit, at least.
He's asking $82,500
N287PS, still in Mexico with Mexican registration, is asking $95,000. It was recovered in 2009 after an off-field landing.
Thoughts? Both sounds pretty great.
