1978 Cessna 172 Hawk XP IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Germantown, MD, USA

This 1978 Cessna 172 Hawk XP II, registration N758ES, is offered for sale at $159,000 and is positioned as a strong IFR-capable four-seat single. The airframe’s most compelling feature is its fresh engine: a 210-horsepower upgrade completed with a major overhaul in March 2026, showing just 25 hours since major overhaul (SMOH). The seller notes the aircraft is NDH (no damage history) and that the last annual inspection was performed on March 23, 2026.

The avionics suite is modernized for IFR operations, headlined by a Garmin 430, dual Garmin G5 electronic flight displays, and a Garmin GDL 82 for ADS-B Out compliance. Additional panel...
