1953 Cessna 180Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1953 Cessna 180 (N2351C) presents an exceptionally low-time airframe with just 1,007.5 total hours, making it one of the freshest examples on the market. Powered by a Continental O-550 engine with only 65.4 hours since new and paired with a three-bladed propeller, this aircraft delivers modern performance from a classic airframe. The avionics suite is notably upgraded with a Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out transponder, dual GNC 255A nav/coms with glideslope, a GTR 225 com radio, and a flush-mounted G4 Insight engine monitor for comprehensive system oversight.

The aircraft features practical enhancements including a Robertson STOL kit for improved short-field performance, nav/strobe lights, and a large cargo door for utility missions. Both exterior and interior condition are rated 8 out of 10, with service logs including W&B, prop, engine, and airframe documentation available for review. A fresh April 2023 annual inspection confirms airworthiness, while the 55-gallon main tanks and 24-gallon Flint tip tanks extend range. This turnkey 180 combines vintage charm with contemporary reliability.
