Detailed Description

1957 Cessna 172 • 4,131 TT • 106 SMOH • Continental O-300 • Garmin GNS 430 • Garmin ADS-B transponder • PS Engineering PAR200B • Classic straight-tail configuration • Four-place cabin

Detailed Description

Classic straight-tail Cessna 172 with a very low-time Continental O-300 engine, showing approximately 4,131 hours total time and only 106 hours since major overhaul. A great example of the early 172-simple, proven, economical, and well suited for personal flying, training, or time building.

The panel retains the classic layout while offering useful modern avionics, including a Garmin GNS 430, Garmin ADS-B transponder, and PS Engineering PAR200B audio panel. The aircraft presents nicely with a clean white exterior with blue and red accents and a matching blue cloth/vinyl interior.

N8055B offers the combination buyers look for in an affordable 172: low engine time, straightforward systems, useful avionics, and the desirable character of an early straight-tail Cessna.

A sharp, affordable 172 with exceptionally low engine time-ready for its next owner.
