THE 172M IS A GOOD ALL AROUND AIRPLANE, SUITABLE FOR CROSS COUNTRY USE, OR FLIGHT TRAINING.
THIS AIRPLANE HAS BEEN WELL USED, AND HAS 13,000 HOURS TOTAL TIME. IT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE GOOD ORIGINAL DESIGN THAT THESE AIRPLANES ROUTINELY GO PAST 20,000 HOURS, AND IN FACT, THERE IS NO LIFE LIMIT TO ANY OF THE AIRFRAME COMPONENTS, THEY ARE AIRWORTHY AS LONG AS THEY ARE SERVICEABLE.
THIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF A HARD NOSE FIRST LANDING.
DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE LOWER FIREWALL ON THE PILOTS SIDE, AS WELL AS TO THE BELLY PANELS JUST BEHIND THE FIREWALL
THERE IS NO OTHER AIRFRAME DAMAGE!!!
NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS !
NO DAMAGE TO THE TAIL OR TAIL FEATHERS
NO DAMAGE TO THE MAIN GEAR OR GEARBOX
EVEN THE NOSEGEAR APPEARS UNDAMAGED
BOTH DOORS FIT AND CLOSE WELL
BOTH UPPER AND LOWER COWLINGS FIT WELL, AND WERE NOT WRINKLED
THE WINDSHIELD IS BROKEN, AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, BUT THE BACK AND SIDE WINDOWS ARE UNDAMAGED
NOSE TIRE HOLDS AIR, BUT THE TUBE HAS A SLOW LEAK
THE LYCOMING ENGINE SUSTAINED A PROP STRIKE, SO IT WAS REMOVED FORWARD OF THE MOUNT, INCLUDING THE DAMAGED PROP AND BOLT ON ITEMS AND IS NOT INCLUDED HERE, BUT THIS PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY.
THE 150 H.P. O-320 WAS PROPERLY REMOVED, WITHOUT CUTTING ELECTRICAL OR THROTTLE AND MIXTURE CABLES, SO REINSTALLATION WILL BE STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT A 160 H.P. O-320, OR EVEN A 180 H.P. O-360 WILL ALSO BOLT RIGHT ON TO THE EXISTING ENGINE MOUNT, WHICH APPEARS UNDAMAGED !
MORE POWER IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING !
INSIDE, THIS AIRPLANE IS EQUIPPED WITH A COMPLETE DASH FULL OF LATE MODEL INSTRUMENTATION, EXCEPT THE TURN CO-ORDINATOR, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED.
WIRED FOR A COMPLETE KING STACK, INCLUDING
KMA 20 AUDIO PANEL WITH MARKER BEACONS, (INCLUDED)
KX-170B NAV-COM (TRAY AND WIRING INCLUDED, UNIT IS NOT)
KI-208 VOR/LOC INDICATOR (INCLUDED)
KN-53 DIGITAL NAV WITH GLIDESLOPE (TRAY AND WIRING INCLUDED, UNIT IS NOT)
AN ARC TRANSPONDER(TRAY AND WIRING INCLUDED, UNIT IS NOT)
MODE "C" ENCODER IS WIRED AND INCLUDED
SPA 400 INTERCOM SYSTEM, WIRED AND INCLUDED
ALL THAT THIS PANEL NEEDS TO BE LEGAL IS TO SLIDE IN A 170B OR ONE OF THE DIGITAL REPLACEMENTS, AND YOU WOULD BE UP AND RUNNING !
THE EXTERIOR LOOKS GOOD OVERALL, BUT THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY BAD. THE FORMER OWNER HAD SHEEPSKIN COVERS, SO IM SURE IT LOOKED ACCEPTABLE THEM, BUT RIGHT NOW ITS NOT VERY PRETTY.
ON A POSITIVE NOTE, BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS ARE THE DESIRABLE FULLY ARTICULATING MODELS (ADJUSTMENTS VERTICALLY AND BACKREST RECLINE)
THE PLASTICS LOOK OK AS WELL.
TIED DOWN AT THE FORT LAUDERDALE FL. EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (KFXE). WE WILL PAY THE TIE DOWN FEES DOR UP TO 30 DAYS, SO YOU CAN GET IT AT YOUR LEISURE.
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS
THIS AIRPLANE HAS A LOT OF LIFE IN IT, AND THE DAMAGE IS BOTH ISOLATED AND REPAIRABLE, AND MOST OF THE AIRPLANE IS NOT DAMAGED !!
SOLD CHEAP, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO FIX IT, INSTALL YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE, AND MAYBE EVEN ADD A FANCY RADIO, AND STILL BE RIGHT ON THE AIRPLANE !!
GOOD BIDDING !!
