This 1978 Cessna 172 Hawk XP II (N736TC) presents a well-maintained example of the upgraded 195 hp model, benefiting from its life in the dry Southwest climate. The airframe shows 5,290 total hours, with the Lycoming IO-360-K engine at 1,020 hours SMOH and just 3 hours since IRAN, paired with a freshly overhauled propeller at 3 hours SPOH. The aircraft is equipped for VFR operations with a Garmin GTR205 com radio (2024), ADS-B Out via GDL-82, and retains original systems including a Cessna 300A autopilot and ADF.

Notable features include a 1990 exterior paint and 2002 interior refresh, along with practical upgrades like PS Engineering intercom and gas-assisted door springs. The useful load of 875 lb accommodates standard 4-place utility. While the first logbook is missing (pre-1988), digital records are available for review. Additional details, including comprehensive specs, high-resolution images, and a walkaround video, can be found on the seller's dedicated listing page. The sale will utilize third-party escrow services.
