1959 Cessna 172Single-Engine Piston Aircraft
This 1959 Cessna 172 (N6188E) presents as a classic straight-tail model with a well-documented history and recent restoration. The airframe shows 5,700 total hours with 1,110 SMOH on its Continental O-300-D 145hp engine and 70 SMOH on the propeller. The aircraft retains its original character with a basic six-pack steam gauge panel featuring dual King radios, a KLN 89B GPS, and a King Mode S transponder, all functioning with period-correct vacuum system operation. Notably, the logs date back to the late 1960s, documenting an early accident and subsequent barn storage before its restoration approximately one year ago.
