1966 Piper Cherokee 140/160Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1966 Piper Cherokee 140/160 (N7430R) presents as a well-equipped and maintained example with notable performance upgrades. The airframe shows 5,150 total hours, with a Lycoming O-320-E2A engine producing 160HP (920 hours SMOH, overhauled to new limits in 1999) and a Sensenich propeller at 225 hours SPOH (overhauled 2019). The aircraft features a comprehensive avionics suite including dual TKM MX170 nav/coms with VOR/LOC/GS, King SkyMap IIIC GPS, Garmin GDL 82 ADS-B Out, and a Century II autopilot, making it IFR-capable.

The exterior sports a Matterhorn White scheme with red and gold accents in above-average condition, showing only minor hail marks on each wing. The red vinyl interior with four-point front harnesses is similarly well-kept. Significant modifications include Knots 2U aerodynamic seals, flap hinge fairings, and main gear fairings, along with 50 gallons of usable fuel capacity. Recent maintenance includes an annual completed March 2025 and 500-hour mag inspections at 5,041 hours. With an 838 lb useful load and hangared storage, this Cherokee combines practical upgrades with solid maintenance documentation.
