1965 PIPER CHEROKEE 140, 3550 TT, CLEAN AIRFRAME, MANY UPDATES, NEW DASH, GREAT SHAPE, WAY OUT OF.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THIS IS A NICE 140, WITH PAINT FROM "93 IN ALL-OVER WHITE WITH TEAL ACCENTS. HANGERED EVERY DAY SINCE.
THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION IN A SIMILAR TEAL
4 SEATS, WITH THE OPTIONAL FIBERGLASS "HAT SHELF", WHICH GIVES THE 140 AN ACTUAL BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT BELOW WITH EXTRA STORAGE ON THE SHELF.
THE DASH IS WHAT SETS THIS AIRPLANE APART FROM ANY OLD 140 YOU MAY HAVE SEEN.
COMPLETELY UPDATED TO THE 1970"S AND 80"S "WARRIOR" STYLE DASH, WITH A QUADRANT THROTTLE !!
THIS INSTALL GIVES A CLEAN 6 PACK LAYOUT
STRIP ENGINE GUAGES
SMOOTH, NO HUMP RADIO STACK
LARGE DIAMETER CONTROL YOKE SHAFTS FOR SMOOTHNESS
ROCKER SWITCHES IN ONE SPOT
AND ALL CIRCUIT BREAKERS !!
BUT WAIT, THERE"S MORE !!
WHEN THEY UPDATED THE DASH TO BE WARRIOR-LIKE, THEY ADDED TOE-BRAKES FOR THE PILOT AS WELL. EXPENSIVE, BUT WORTH IT !!
AVIONICS INSTALLED INCLUDE:
TERRA TMA-350D AUDIO PANEL WITH MARKER BEACONS AND BUILT IN INTERCOM
TERRA DIGITAL NAV, WITH DIGITAL VOR/LOC INDICATOR
ADF SYSTEM
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LATE STYLE DASH ALSO HAS ALL LATE STYLE, MODERN GYROS AS WELL, NO ODD SIZE OR SHAPED STUFF HERE. NOT LIKE ANY OTHER OLD CHEROKEE !!
THIS AIRPLANE IS UNIQUE IN ANOTHER WAY AS WELL,
IT ISNT DAMAGED !!
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT SELLS MORE DAMAGED AIRPLANES THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY WORLDWIDE
THIS ONE, HOWEVER ISNT HURT
IT IS NOT, HOWEVER, IN CURRENT ANNUAL, AND HAS NOT BEEN SINCE 1997 !!
SITTING IN A HANGER IN UPSTATE NEW YORK ALL THIS TIME, UNUSED.
LUCKILY, THERE ISNT ANY SALT AIR THERE, SO THIS AIRPLANE IS VERY CLEAN, INSIDE AND OUT.
THE ONLY DAMAGE WE COULD FIND HAPPENED AFTER THE AIRPLANE WAS DISASSEMBLED LAST MONTH !!
THERE IS A WRINKLE IN THE LEFT WING BOTTOM AFT SKIN, WHERE IT LEANED AGAINST AN OBJECT, AND A SMALL CREASE ON THE RIGHT FUSELAGE WHERE IT SCRAPED AGAINST A FLAP HANGER WHILE BEING PULLED ONTO THE TRAILER.
THATS IT !!
THE WING BOTTOM SKIN WILL PROBABLY STRAIGHTEN JUST FINE, AND THE FUSELAGE CREASE IS COSMETIC ONLY, AND SHOULD POUND OUT (OR USE DENT DOCTOR, THEY CAN DO WONDERS)
NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE !!
THERE IS A SMALL CREASE ON THE RUDDER TRAILING EDGE, BUT IT IS NOT CRACKED OR STOP DRILLED, SO IT REQUIRES NO ACTION
THE WINGS, GEAR, FLAPS, AILERONS AND THE SPECIAL HORNER STYLE WINGTIPS ARE ALL UNDAMAGED
THE NOSEBOWL AND COWLINGS ARE NOT DAMAGED
ALL OF THE LANDING GEAR, WHEELS AND CLEVELAND BRAKES ARE UNDAMAGED.
TAIL AND TAIL FEATHERS ARE UNDAMAGED
****** BUT THERE IS NO ENGINE OR PROP*****
DID YOU WONDER WHY IT SAT SO LONG?
THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED PROPERLY, WITH PLANS TO REPLACE IT, SO ALL OF THE HARDWARE IS THERE, AND THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES (THROTTLE, MIXTURE, CARB HEAT ARE INTACT.
THE ENGINE MOUNT IS INTACT AND LOOKS GOOD
THE MAG P LEADS AND STARTER/ALTERNATOR WIRING IS INTACT.
BOLT ON A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND PROP (150 H.P. IS STANDARD, BUT THERE ARE S.T.C."S TO INSTALL 160 OR EVEN 180 H.P.) AND DECIDE WETHER YOU WANT TO ADD A FIXED PITCH PROP OR A CONSTANT SPEED (I HAVE SEEN IT DONE)
THERE IS EVEN A NEW 3 BLADE AVAILABLE WITH ELECTRIC CONSTANT SPEED FOR THE EARLY 180 H.P. ENGINES !!
THIS CLEAN AIRPLANE WITH THE UPDATES IS A TINKERERS DREAM.
IT COULD BE FLYING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IF YOU HAVE THE ENGINE AVAILABLE, OR LOOK OVER THE WINTER AND ASSEMBLE IT WHEN YOU ARE READY
WE HAVE THE LOGS SINCE DAY 1, JUNE OF 1965, WHERE IT WAS SIGNED OFF AS AIRWORTHY, TILL THE LAST ANNUAL
WE HAVE THE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE
WE HAVE THE FAA BILL OF SALE
AND, SINCE HE HAD PLANS TO FIX IT UP AND FLY IT AGAIN, THE FORMER OWNER DIDNT ALLOW THE REGISTRATION TO LAPSE, SO IT IS CURRENT, AND GOOD UNTIL 1/21/2019 !!
NO PAPERWORK ISSUES AT ALL !!
DISASSEMBLED, READY TO TRAILER EASILY, AND LOCATED AT OUR MAIN FACILITY AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT, (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MN.
WE WILL STORE THIS AIRPLANE FOR FREE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE FOR ONLY $8 PER DAY, IF YOU NEED IT.
THIS IS A NICE AIRPLANE, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD AIRPLANE TO ADD A LITTLE TOO AND FLY IT CHEAP, THIS IS IT !
