1954 Cessna 180 SkywagonSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • St. Louis, MO, USA

This 1954 Cessna 180 Skywagon (N181ST) presents as a well-equipped backcountry performer with 3,400 hours total time, currently based at KSET. The aircraft features a 550-hour SMOH O-470R engine paired with a 340-hour SNEW Mac C203 88-inch propeller, with over $40,000 invested in recent maintenance performed by Skywagon specialists at Bentley Air in fall 2024. Notable modifications include a Sportsman STOL kit, vortex generators, firewall battery relocation, flat extended baggage floor, Atlee Dodge jump seats, and full LED lighting - upgrades the seller estimates would cost over $30,000 to replicate on a stock airframe.
