1962 Cessna 172C SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Lawton, OK, USA

This 1962 Cessna 172C Skyhawk, registration N1523Y, presents an unusual history having left the factory as a float plane before having its floats removed and landing gear reinstalled in December 1962. This origin provides factory corrosion proofing and lifting eyes on the fuselage. The aircraft shows just 2,600 hours total time on the airframe and a mere 5 hours since a major overhaul on its Continental O-300 engine, which the seller notes was a very expensive and detailed overhaul. It has never been used as a trainer and has no hail damage, corrosion, or damage history, having been always hangared during its life primarily in north Texas...

Interior Notes
The interior was done at the same time and still shows very well. There is slight wear on the back of the pilot's seat. Airtex carpet was recently installed.
Exterior Notes
In 1997, the aircraft was stripped and painted with base coat Alumigrip Matterhorn White, and trimmed in Jet Glow Sable Brown, Oakwood Brown, Sahara Tan and Moondust. The aircraft has been kept waxed, hangared, and the paint is still stunning. There is slight hangar rash under the left elevator near the fuselage - very minor. Flight controls were balanced.
