1973 Cessna A185FSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1973 Cessna A185F (N2678S) presents as a well-maintained Skywagon with 6,629 total airframe hours and a 300 HP IO-520D engine showing 870 hours since factory remanufacture (SFREM) against a 1,700-hour TBO. The aircraft benefits from a recent top overhaul with six factory-new Millennium cylinders installed just 30 hours ago, coupled with a wide-chord Hartzell three-blade propeller at 1,212 hours since overhaul. Notably equipped for versatile operations, it features a factory float kit, long-range 84-gallon fuel system with four raised gas caps, and ski fittings, making it suitable for backcountry and amphibious missions.

The avionics suite is modernized with a Garmin GNS 430W WAAS GPS/COM, dual G5 digital flight instruments, and a GFC 500 fully coupled autopilot, complemented by a PS Engineering audio panel and Stratus ADS-B system. Structural enhancements include zinc chromate corrosion proofing, recent hockey stick AD compliance, and double-puck heavy-duty brakes. The exterior wears an 8.5/10-rated factory 1980 Cessna 180/185 paint scheme in white with maroon/gold accents, while the interior is currently receiving new custom two-tone tan/brown leather upholstery. Early 1975 gearbox damage was properly repaired, and the aircraft carries complete logs with no hail or corrosion history, remaining airworthy with an annual valid through July 2026.
