Detailed Description

1970 Cessna 177B Cardinal - Hangared ' 180 HP ' Low-Time Engine ' No Known Damage History

Here is an opportunity to own one of Cessna's most distinctive and desirable single-engine aircraft - a well-kept 1970 Cessna 177B Cardinal powered by the 180 HP engine that helped make the 177B such a sought-after member of the Cardinal family.

This aircraft has been hangared and well cared for, presenting an excellent opportunity for a pilot looking for a capable, comfortable, and exceptionally good-looking four-place aircraft. With its sleek profile, large cabin doors, excellent visibility, and strut-free high-wing design, the Cardinal offers a combination of ramp presence and practicality that still stands apart more than five decades after its introduction.

The engine has just over 500 hours since major overhaul (SMOH), providing the next owner with an attractive low-time powerplant. The aircraft also has no known damage history and a current annual inspection.

Most importantly, this isn't a project waiting for its next owner - it's a Cardinal that's ready to fly and enjoy.

Whether you're looking for a personal cross-country airplane, a comfortable weekend traveler, or simply appreciate the unique design and flying qualities of the Cessna Cardinal, this 177B deserves serious consideration.
