1958 Cessna 172Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • NJ, USA
This 1958 Cessna 172 (N3953F) represents a well-preserved example of the original straight-tail design with only 6,010 total airframe hours. The Continental O-300-A engine shows just 51 hours since its major overhaul in June 2021, complemented by a Sensenich propeller that was manufacturer-overhauled in April 2023 with 875 hours since. The aircraft has been meticulously maintained by its 36-year owner, with recent attention including a June 2023 annual inspection (next due June 2024), five instrument overhauls in 2016, and a new windshield installed in 2015.
