1972 Piper Cherokee 140/160Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1972 Piper Cherokee 140/160 (N2846T) presents as a well-maintained example with 5,091 total airframe hours and a Lycoming O-320-E3D engine showing 1,136 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) in 1999. The Sensenich 74DM6 cruise-pitch propeller has 580 hours SMOH, with recent compression readings showing strong cylinder health at 75-77/80 across all cylinders. The aircraft features a RAM 160 STC for increased performance, along with an Isham wing/stab extension kit that enhances takeoff and landing lift characteristics.

Equipped for basic IFR capability, the panel includes a Garmin GPS 496, GTX 335 transponder with ADS-B out, dual comms (GTR 225 and KX 170B), and a PM 501 intercom. The paint and interior are rated 8/10 and 7/10 respectively, reflecting good overall condition. With a useful load of 797 lbs and cruise performance of 105 KTAS at 7.5 GPH, this Cherokee serves well as a trainer or cross-country platform. Notable squawks include an inoperative EGT gauge and clock, along with a documented 1975 nose gear collapse. The next annual is due November 2025, and complete digital logs are available.
