Description

Two owners from new. One from 1977 to 1980 and then the current owner bought it in 1980 with 220 hours total time. Since then, one owner, one hangar in the dry eastern part of California at a fly-in community. Very well cared for and running very well. with a fresh annual. Complete logs. no hail, no corrosion, no damage history. Complete logs. A very dry straight low time Warrior. Perfect to build time in and upgrade to 160 HP at overhaul time. Plus it was never a trainer.
