Description
Major price reduction. Our seller says it’s time to move on. This bird is classic original Piper paint and interior bird. It shows like an airshow airplane. Always hangered, and it shows. Excellent windows. The airframe logs are missing from 1961 to 2012. Zero time engine overhaul in 2012. Needs a new prop. The one on it now is unserviceable. Same owner since 1985. Fresh tires.
