1953 Cessna 170BSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • OR, USA

This 1953 Cessna 170B, registered as N508WL, presents a highly modified and meticulously restored example with 4,950 hours total time on the airframe. The aircraft underwent a complete tip-to-tail restoration in 2012 by Ron Anderson, with only 596.9 hours flown since that work was completed, and it holds a fresh annual inspection valid through September 2025. Its propulsion is centered on a factory-new ECI-built Lycoming O-360-A1A engine producing 180 horsepower, which has 596.9 hours since major overhaul against a 2,000-hour TBO, and it is paired with an MT two-blade propeller with the same time since new.
