1956 Cessna 172Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Baxley, GA 31513 United States

This 1960s-era Cessna 172 is offered as a project aircraft at $30,000, accepting offers, and is located in Baxley, Georgia. The current owner acquired the airplane with the intention of completing restoration and finishing a private pilot certificate, but has decided to pass it along. A mechanic has already completed significant work, including a new interior, an AV30 instrument, ADS-B In/Out, an ICOM radio, and a Garmin AERA 600 VFR GPS, providing a solid foundation of modern avionics for the next owner.

The airframe has a total time of 3,612.03 hours, with the engine showing 1,907 hours since major overhaul and the propeller at 892 hours...
