1970 Piper Cherokee 180Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1970 Piper Cherokee 180 (N3493R) presents as a well-maintained example with a comprehensive avionics suite and recent engine work. The airframe shows 8,065 total hours, with the Lycoming O-360-A4A engine having 1,096 hours since major overhaul by Triad Aviation in 2010. Notably, a $16,194 IRAN and crankcase replacement was completed in November 2021 by Columbia Aircraft Services, adding just 327 hours since this significant repair. The Sensenich propeller matches the engine time at 1,096 hours since overhaul.

The panel features modern upgrades including a Garmin 430W WAAS GPS, GTX-335 ADS-B transponder, TruTrak Vision autopilot with altitude hold, and an Electronics International graphic engine monitor. Additional STC upgrades include a stabilator trim shaft modification, wheel pants for speed enhancement, and Rosen sun visors. The aircraft shows well cosmetically with a white/red/blue exterior (noting very light hail marks on control surfaces) and blue leatherette interior (with a minor rear seat tear). Maintenance records are extensive though the first airframe log was lost, with documentation beginning at 2,362 hours in 1979. The next annual is due May 2026, with IFR checks due October 2025. The aircraft has been hangared when not in use.
