1968 Cessna 177 / 180 ConversionSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1968 CESSNA 177/180 CONVERSION (N29436) presents a well-maintained airframe with 6,030 total hours and a freshly serviced 180hp Lycoming O-360-A1A engine showing excellent compression readings (78-79/80 across all cylinders) with only 822 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft features a constant-speed propeller with matching time, along with numerous recent replacements including a Skytec starter, vacuum pump, exhaust stack, carburetor, and engine mounts. The VFR-equipped panel centers around a Garmin Apollo SL-60 GPS/Com with moving map, complemented by a TKM MX-12 Nav/Com and Stratus ADS-B transponder for traffic/weather data streaming to tablets.

The 1968-painted airframe benefits from a clean Airtex interior with articulating front seats featuring AmSafe 4-point harnesses, Great Plane Plastics interior components, and full LED lighting. Notable airframe treatments include Corrosion-X application and compliance with the spar AD. With a substantial 876 lb useful load and the performance benefits of the 180hp conversion paired with the original Cardinal wing, this aircraft serves well as an aerial platform - evidenced by its installed FlightFlix camera mounts with USB-C power. The seller confirms no damage history, complete logs since new, and a recent annual inspection. The aircraft is offered at $97,000 with paint as-is and fractional ownership options available.
