1966 Piper Cherokee 140/160Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1966 Piper Cherokee 140/160 (N7513R) presents as a solid VFR-equipped trainer with recent mechanical attention and upgrade potential. The airframe shows 9,648 total hours with a 1,331 SMOH Lycoming O-320 that received a 160HP RAM conversion in 2008, currently showing strong compression readings between 76-79/80. Recent April 2025 maintenance included extensive airframe work addressing AD compliance, with replacements ranging from rudder skin and stabilator components to fuel lines and cabin heat systems. The panel features dual comm radios, a Narco nav/ILS unit, and four-place intercom, while the airframe will require ADS-B Out installation (seller offers a tail beacon upgrade for $1,000).

While structurally sound with a freshly completed annual (due 6/30/25), this Cherokee shows its training heritage with original 1966 paint and interior that the seller notes would benefit from refurbishment. The aircraft's recent mechanical overhaul - including exhaust system, carb heat shrouds, and numerous airframe components - makes it particularly suitable for buyers seeking a mechanically refreshed platform for time-building or refurbishment projects. The seller offers ferry service throughout the contiguous U.S. at additional cost.
