1979 American Champion Citabria 7GCBCSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Cleveland, MS, USA

This 1979 Bellanca Citabria 7GCBC, registration N5047T, serial number 1356-79, is offered for sale at $125,000 USD and is based in Cleveland, Mississippi (KRNV). The airframe has accumulated 3,365 total hours. According to the seller, the aircraft has no damage history, and the logbooks reflect a July 2026 propeller strike event, which was addressed by overhauling the Lycoming O-320-A2D engine and installing a new propeller. The powerplant, rated at 150 horsepower, now has 3 hours since major overhaul by Poplar Grove Airmotive, with a 2,000-hour TBO. The new Sensenich 74DM6S8-1-56 propeller also has 3 hours since new.
