1957 Cessna 172Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1957 Cessna 172 (N7229A) presents as a well-equipped vintage trainer with 3,990 total airframe hours and a factory-remanufactured engine showing just 360 hours since overhaul. The aircraft features several notable upgrades including a STEC 50 autopilot with altitude hold, dual Narco Mark 12D navcoms, and modern ADS-B compliance through a Garmin 327 transponder with GDL84 out capability. The panel is further enhanced with an electronic attitude indicator, Flight Stream 110 glideslope, and six-probe EGT monitoring, while operational improvements include a 60-amp alternator conversion and push-button starter.

The airframe shows a wing repair from 1975 in its damage history and is missing its first logbook, with records beginning in August 1979 at 2,602 hours. Current maintenance status includes a February annual inspection and a transponder check valid through February 2025. The exterior sports a white base with burgundy and gold accents, complemented by a red and off-white fabric interior. With its blend of classic Cessna reliability and carefully selected modern avionics, this 172 offers IFR capability and reduced pilot workload for cross-country flying.
