This 1974 Piper Archer (N55PN) presents a well-maintained example with notable upgrades and recent certifications. The airframe shows 5,555 total hours, while the 180 HP Penn Yan Aero STC-modified Lycoming O-360-A4M engine has 1,086 hours since overhaul to new limits in June 2005, paired with a factory-new Sensenich 76EM8-0-60 propeller installed at the same time.
