1956 Cessna 180Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Lake City, MI, USA

This 1956 Cessna 180, offered at $219,000 without floats or $229,000 with floats, presents a compelling combination of a fresh powerplant and thoughtful utility modifications. The airframe has logged 2,144 total hours, with the engine having undergone a major overhaul in 2024 by Central Cylinder Services, accumulating just 65 hours since. This overhaul included a new starter, engine mount, Air Wolf oil filter, battery, hoses, and engine controls. A new McCauley propeller with 260 hours is also installed. The aircraft is contact-listed by Brian Weaver, a friend of the owner, and is located in Lake City, Michigan.
