Description
The aircraft has all the log books since it was manufactured and has had well-documented maintenance. The next annual is due September 2027. The prop is a McCauley 1C172/EM7652 S/N 70420. There is some very minor hangar rash under the left elevator that's hardly noticeable. The aircraft is a living estate sale. When this Cessna 172C left the factory on March 26, 1962, it was built to be a seaplane; however, it was never used as a seaplane. It was never a trainer, there's no hail dents, corrosion and no damage. It has always been hangared, kept waxed and has been based in north Texas and Oklahoma its entire life. Its an exceptional aircraft and has always been privately owned.
Modifications
The engine is a Continental 0-300-D. It has ten hours SMOH, and only the best parts were used including Millennium Cylinders. All scat hose, silicone baffling and related parts were replaced.
