1959 Cessna 172 SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1959 Cessna 172A Skyhawk (N7245T) represents the first year of the swept-tail design, showing 3,248 total airframe hours with a Continental O-300 engine showing 630 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft features STOL wingtips and an oil filter adapter modification, with a useful load of 900 lbs in its four-place configuration. Recent maintenance includes a current annual inspection, and the seller notes it runs and flies exceptionally well with only minor hangar rash on the right wingtip that doesn't affect operation.

The aircraft presents well with a 2014 exterior paint job in white with blue/silver accents, matching wheel skirts, and a new windshield. The interior was also refreshed in 2014 with blue upholstery, black carpet, white headliner, and a four-place intercom system. Avionics include a Garmin GNC 250 as the primary radio, a Narco MK12D secondary nav/com, and a Narco AT150 transponder, supplemented by an iPad mount/charging station. The sale includes valuable spare parts: a completely rebuilt nose strut, original wingtips, and additional Narco avionics units. This Skyhawk combines classic 172A heritage with practical upgrades for both training and personal flying missions.
