Detailed Description

1985 Piper Archer Two in condition rarely, if ever, found. Has unusually upgraded modern Garmin IFR panel, boasting a 750 XI, dual GI275's, and. GTX345 ADSB transponder plus much much more.

This airplane has its original untouched 0-360 A4M engine with full compression, zero oil consumption, no leaks, no blow-by. This is the best model Lycoming ever produced so I am told. Runs like a new engine, therefore I have been flying it the way it is for over five enjoyable years. It does not need to be rebuilt. Buyers' choice. This is the perfect extra clean aircraft and avionics package, with hardly any flight time on it, to do up the engine and have a forever beautiful airplane. No tire kickers please. Serious qualified buyers only need apply. No dealers unless you have it sold. Complete logbooks back to 1985, and No Damage History. Only very reasonable offers will be considered. This is truly a one of a kind Archer Two. I have only been able to use it an average of 30 hours per year, so it makes more sense to let her go to a new home.

Remarks

Extra clean and well maintained Archer Two with extremely low total time.

Extensive last five annuals, totally up to date.

Skytech lightweight starter, Hartzell remanufactured alternator (09/2026), Concorde AGM battery, 3 tires and tubes, Cleveland brake rotors and pads, alternator belt, front seal, both magneto's, mufflers, oil return lines, fuel lines, turn co-ordinator, five brake master cylinders rebuilt, one Millennium engine cylinder complete, camshaft inspection, oil analysis, much much more.
