1979 Cessna 172N SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Los Angeles, CA, USA

This 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk, registration N990B, presents as a comprehensively restored example with a total airframe time of 8,985 hours. Its mechanical core is supported by a Lycoming O-320-D2J engine with 356 hours since a major overhaul in 2023, which included new cylinders, and is paired with a propeller that is also new with 356 hours. The aircraft's standout feature is its extensive recent refurbishment, including a complete strip, alodine, prime, and custom paint job performed in late 2024, and a brand-new leather checkerboard interior with new carpet installed in 2025.

For avionics, the panel is equipped for both VFR and IFR...
