This 1970 Grumman/American General AA1 (N5976L) presents a well-maintained example with several notable upgrades. The airframe shows just 2,255 total hours and has always been hangared, with a clean damage history and all ADs complied with. The Lycoming O-320-E2A engine was upgraded to 150hp via STC, showing strong compressions (78/80 across all cylinders at its September 2024 annual) and 1,455 hours SMOH since its 1979 overhaul. The aircraft features auxiliary fuel tanks for a total 32-gallon capacity, enhancing its range while maintaining an efficient cruise speed of 125-130 knots.

The panel is equipped with dual Collins NAV/COMs (one with glideslope), a Narco AT150 transponder with Skybeacon ADS-B Out, and a King KLN90B GPS, all supporting its VFR mission. The exterior paint and interior are described as "nice" with an overall condition rating of 6-7, showing only minor leading edge fading and a single drill stop in the windscreen. Logbooks are complete post-2006, with a small documentation gap from 1998-2005. Fresh from its August 2024 annual (due again 8/2025), this two-seater offers a blend of performance and value, with the seller noting it's "a blast to fly" with its upgraded powerplant.
