This 1968 Piper Cherokee 180 (N7756N) presents as a well-maintained example with 3,828 total airframe hours and a 180 HP Lycoming O-360-A4A engine showing 1,498 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft is IFR-capable with a useful load of 1,003 lbs, making it practical for training, cross-country flights, or family trips. Key avionics include a Bendix/King KX-155 NAV/COM with KI-209 indicator, KLN 89-B GPS (VFR-only), uAvionix skyBeacon ADS-B Out, and an Insight GEM 602 engine monitor. The 1998-refurbished interior retains a classic Piper aesthetic with cherry red upholstery and wood dash trim, while the exterior paint shows age-related fading and chipping, suggesting a future refresh would enhance value.

Maintenance records indicate consistent care, with the next annual due September 2025 and IFR checks due September 2026. Notable upgrades include Knots 2U wing root fairings for improved aerodynamics and a Whelen belly strobe. The Sensenich aluminum propeller complements the airframe’s reputation for durability and cost-effective operation. With its balanced combination of vintage charm and functional upgrades, this Cherokee 180 offers a solid platform for pilots seeking reliable performance.

Interior & Exterior

Interior Year: 1998

Interior Notes: Refurbished in 1998, the interior has been well-maintained and remains in good condition. Definitely a retro Piper feel with the cherry red upholstery, carpet, and side panels, wood dash panel, and cream trim throughout. Minor avionics upgrades over the years, standard six-pack instruments and tinted sun visors.

Exterior Notes: Ready for a Refresh! N7756N has a white paint scheme with bold red and black accents. The paint is holding up but is faded, dry, and showing its age. There is chipping on the wheel pants. A new paint job is recommended at some point to restore its original shine and protect the airframe for years to come.
