1973 Cessna 172MSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Bethel Township, PA, USA

This 1962 Cessna 172M, registered with a total time of 6700 hours, is equipped with the Pen Yan 180 HP conversion and presents a unique blend of utility and honest character. The engine has 600 hours since major overhaul, and the airframe is fitted with a seaplane kit and long-range tanks, giving it a useful load of 1061 pounds. It flew Part 135 operations in Alaska for years, and the seller notes it has "some dings and dents to prove it," along with a "descent Imron paint" finish and an interior the seller candidly describes as "sucks." The aircraft has complete logs and comes with a fresh FAA Repair Station Annual.
