1956 Cessna 172 SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1956 Cessna 172 Skyhawk (N7074A) represents a well-preserved example from the first production year, noted as the last 172 built in 1956. The aircraft maintains remarkable originality, having been hangared since 1980 with no history as a trainer. The airframe shows just 2,459.1 total hours, while the engine has 399.1 hours since top overhaul (STOH) against a 2,000-hour TBO. The propeller also reflects 399.1 hours SMOH.

Avionics have been upgraded to include a moving map GPS with ADS-B Out, ILS, DME, a 4-place intercom, and dual NAV/GPS COM radios, enhancing its IFR capability. Maintenance records show an annual inspection completed on 08/08/2023, though the aircraft is currently out of annual as the owner, a retired aviation professional, allowed his IA to lapse. The aircraft is located at KTOR (Torrington, WY) and presents as a low-time, hangar-kept classic with recent operational history.
