Description

  • 1946 Cessna 140 — N76581 — $39,900 OBO — [Plano, TX]
  • Selling my 140 for the happiest of reasons. Two little boys and a growing business have quietly taken the free time I used to spend flying her, and an airplane like this deserves better than a hangar and good intentions.
  • Major overhaul March 2008 — crankcase by DivCo, new cam and lifters, new pistons and pins, new bearings, overhauled carb, both Slick mags overhauled. About 215 hours since
  • Metalized wings — no recover to budget for
  • uAvionix tailBeacon, ADS-B Out with its own WAAS GPS
  • Standard six panel, Airtex interior, 3-point harnesses
  • Vortex generators, Sky-Tec starter, Scott 3200 tailwheel, alternator conversion
  • Airframe about 4,144 hours total time
  • Annual signed September 2026
  • Hangared
  • $39,900 OBO. I'd rather this be straightforward than squeeze out the last thousand — the easier you make the transaction, the further I'll come down. She's ready for her next adventures, she just needs someone with the time to go have them.
