1961 Piper ColtSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Murrieta, CA, USA

This 1961 Piper Colt presents as a complete restoration with 1,765 hours total time on both the airframe and its Lycoming O-235-C1B 108 HP engine. The aircraft underwent a ground-up restoration in 2023, which included new fabric and paint, and the propeller was recently overhauled with just 9 hours since major overhaul. A July annual inspection recorded strong engine compressions of 77, 78, 78, and 78 against a 2,400-hour time between overhaul.

The panel has been significantly upgraded with modern Garmin avionics, including a new GTX 335 transponder, a new GNC 255 nav/com, and two multi-function G5 displays configured with an HSI for IFR...
