1946 Cessna 140Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1946 Cessna 140 (NC89306) presents an exceptional example of a classic tailwheel aircraft with comprehensive refurbishment and careful storage history. The airframe shows 4,372 total time with a Continental C-90-12-F engine showing 674 hours since factory remanufacture, displaying strong compression readings between 70-80 psi across all cylinders. The aircraft has been stored in Los Alamos, New Mexico's dry climate since 1990, with the seller noting no corrosion present.

The complete nose-to-tail refurbishment includes both interior and exterior work, with the paint described as being in great shape and the aircraft appearing "like new." Avionics feature a UAVIONIX TAILBEACON TSO for ADS-B Out compliance paired with a KX125 TSO nav/com. With a useful load of 539 pounds, this meticulously maintained classic stands out as a show-quality example, as emphasized by the seller's repeated characterization of its condition. JS Aviation notes they haven't inspected the aircraft or logs, recommending a buyer's pre-purchase inspection.
