This 1975 Piper Archer II (N4323X) presents a well-maintained example with notable recent upgrades and a storied history. The aircraft features a fresh 2024 paint job, new windows, and wing root speed fairings, complementing its clean airframe with 9,195 total hours. Power comes from a Lycoming O-360-A4M engine producing 180 HP, with just 669 hours since its 2021 overhaul—well below the 2,000-hour TBO. The panel is IFR-equipped with modern Garmin avionics, including a GNS430W GPS, GTX327 transponder, and ADS-B with WAAS and active traffic capability, supported by a Piper autopilot.
Notably, this Archer II holds historical significance as a 1976 Flying Magazine centerfold and a 2023 Piper Magazine cover feature. Recent maintenance includes a December 2024 FAR 91.411/91.413 compliance deadline, while the next annual and transponder checks are due January 2026. The seller emphasizes its "impeccable maintenance" and classic design, positioning it as both a flyable asset and a collector's piece. Priced at $127,500, it offers a blend of vintage appeal and updated utility.
