Detailed Description

This well-maintained 1957 Cessna 172 pairs an immaculate exterior with a new interior, offering peace of mind inside and out along with a freshly completed annual and an engine at just 676 SMOH. Recent upgrades make it more reliable, modern, and easier to maintain day to day: a Hartzell alternator conversion delivers stronger electrical capacity than the original generator, a modern Skytec push-button starter replaces the old pull-start system, and a newly installed uAvionix AV-30 electronic flight instrument brings solid-state reliability to the panel - all within the past year. The carburetor, magnetos, and ignition components were also recently rebuilt or replaced, and the landing gear received new tires, brakes, and wheel components, so a new owner won't be facing near-term maintenance surprises. Hangared, with a 10/10 exterior and 9/10 interior, this is a clean, ready-to-fly 172 for a buyer who wants a well-kept, modernized aircraft without a big upfront investment in deferred work.
