Detailed Description

This very low-time Cessna 175 has been upgraded with the desirable Lycoming O-360 conversion, replacing the original geared Continental with a simpler, more reliable engine that delivers stronger performance and easier maintenance. The conversion transforms the aircraft into a very practical performer while retaining the balanced flying characteristics the 175 is known for.

It offers Cessna 172-like performance for a fraction of the price, making it an excellent option for pilots looking to get into a Cessna. With its classic straight-tail styling, clean airframe, and sensible upgrades (including ADSB and Auto-Pilot), this aircraft combines vintage character with reliability, practicality and character.

This airplane has a fresh annual (March 2026) and is ready to fly. Ferrying and export assistance is available through our specialists.

Remarks

The 175 model never saw the same success as the 172, because of the original geared GO-300 engines which were overly complex. With a Lycoming O-360 upgrade, this airplane is as reliable as a 172, with unique style and exceptional preformance at a much more reasonable investment than a similarly spec'd 172.
