1946 Cessna 120Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Georgetown, TX, USA

This 1946 Cessna 120, registered as N77493, is offered for $33,500 and represents a classic, economical tailwheel trainer. The airframe's total time is unknown, as the original logbooks were lost in a fire, with new logs starting in 2002; the seller reports no known damage history since that time. The wings were recovered in 2002, and the aircraft is currently in annual inspection. The C-85-12F engine has 80 hours since a top overhaul performed in July 2025, which included new ignition harnesses, spark plugs, gasket pushrod tubes, a spin-on oil filter, and overhauled Bendix magnetos.

This VFR-only aircraft features a polished exterior with...
