This 1966 Piper Cherokee 6/260 (N17MD) presents a well-maintained example with 5,988 total hours and a strong recent maintenance history. The Lycoming IO-540 engine shows 1,173 hours SMOH with excellent compression readings (77-79 across all cylinders), paired with a Hartzell scimitar propeller at 671 hours SMOH. The aircraft features notable STOL enhancements including a Stohl kit with droop tips, wing fences, and flap gap seals, complemented by Knots 2U wheel fairings for improved performance.

The panel is equipped for serious IFR operations with triple Aspen Pro 1000 displays (including synthetic vision), a Garmin 430W GPS/COM, KX170B NAV/COM, and Garmin 345 transponder with ADS-B In/Out. Automation includes an STEC 50 autopilot with altitude hold, supported by a WX950 Stormscope and EI MVP-50P engine monitoring system. While the original 1966 interior remains in good condition with a well-preserved headliner, the carpet shows some wear. With an annual good through September 2025 and IFR certification due July 2025, this 6-seater offers 84-gallon fuel capacity and comes with complete logs, ready for its next owner following the seller's medical retirement.
