1977 CESSNA 172N, 7331TT, 2568 SINCE FACTORY OVERHAUL IN 1988 ENGINE MAKING METAL, VERY LIGHT GROUND DAMAGE, CHEAP !!
THE 172N IS A GREAT AIRPLANE !!
MORE POWERFUL 160 H.P. ENGINE CARRIES A LOAD BETTER, AND RATE OF CLIMB AND TOP SPEED ARE HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS MODELS.
THIS AIRPLANE IS A SAD STORY.
DURING A ROUTINE ANNUAL INSPECTION IN 2006, THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO BE MAKING METAL.
THE OWNER WAITED FOR A WHILE TO FIX IT, SO HE COULD DECIDE WHICH WAY TO FIX IT.
WHILE IT WAS TIED DOWN, AN AIRPORT VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RIGHT WING TIP AND DOOR, DAMAGING THE WINGTIP, AND PUTTING A SMALL DENT/WRINKLE IN THE WING LEADING EDGE, AS WELL AS A DENT IN THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR
A LAWSUIT ENSUED, AND ALTHOUGH THE AIRPLANE OWNER WON, MORE TIME ELAPSED.
THAN HE LOST HIS MEDICAL.
SO NOW, FINALLY IT IS FOR SALE, AS IS, WITH A KNOWN ENGINE ISSUE.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PROP STRIKE TO THE 0-320 160 H.P. ENGINE, BUT IT WILL REQUIRE REPAIR OR OVERHAUL
THE AIRFRAME IS NOT DAMAGED:
LEFT WING, FUSELAGE, GEAR COWLING, CONTROL SURFACES, ETC ARE OK.
DASH IS COMPLETE WITH INSTRUMENTS AND DIGITAL RADIOS, AS SHOWN
INTERIOR IS INTACT, BUT IN POOR CONDITIONSIDE WINDOWS ARE IN POOR CONDITION
THE AIRPLANE IS INTACT.
IT NEEDS SOME ENGINE WORK, OR OVERHAUL, OR REPLACEMENT, AND THE WINGTIP AND DOOR REPAIRED.
THE GOOD NEWS?
IT IS FOR SALE CHEAP !!
CHEAP ENOUGH SO THAT YOU CAN FIX IT UP AND STILL HAVE THE CHEAPEST "N" MODEL OUT THERE !!
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND ENGINE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS
THE REGISTRATION IS VALIDTHE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE IS INCLUDED
LOCATED AT THE HARRISBURG, PA AIRPORT. WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE UP TO 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION
GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THIS ONE WHAT YOU WANT, WITH A SMALL INITIAL INVESTMENT !!
GOOD BIDDING !!
AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT……HARRISBURG,PA..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY. WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY. REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL. THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH.
