1974 Cessna 172M SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1974 Cessna 172M Skyhawk (N1743V) presents as a turnkey aircraft with comprehensive upgrades completed during a major 2022 refurbishment. The airframe shows 11,100 total hours and features a freshly overhauled 160HP O-320-E2D RAM STC engine with only 800 hours SMOH, installed in 2021 with a Powerflow exhaust, Surefly electronic ignition, and Tanis preheat system. The McCauley propeller was concurrently overhauled. The panel boasts a modern Garmin suite including dual 7" G3X touch displays, GTN 650Xi navigator, GFC 500 autopilot, and full ADS-B IN/OUT capability with the GTX 345 transponder.

Recent airframe enhancements include all new switches and circuit breakers, CIES fuel senders, Micro Aero Dynamics VG kit, LED lighting, and CNC-machined panel overlays. The interior remains in good condition with cloth upholstery, though seat covers are excluded. With its IFR-certified avionics package, WAAS/LPV capability, and active traffic/terrain systems, this Skyhawk has just completed its annual inspection and stands ready for immediate operation. The extensive 2021-2022 upgrades encompass both performance and safety elements, from the Amsafe inflatable seatbelts to the complete electrical system renewal.
