1971 Cessna cardinal 177rg

Description

• I'm planning to sell my '71 RG. I have a trip to the Bahamas planned in November but I'm floating it out there now to gauge interest. I'll probably put it with a broker in January and get more serious about selling it. Freshly overhauled engine, Power Flow exhaust, Surefly magneto on left side, lots of extras. Cruises 153TAS at 12 GPH or 146 @10 GPH . 4 GI 275s, GFC 500 with electric trim. Original paint is rough but mostly present (leading edges and tops of wings are polished. Interior plastics are bad and some are currently not installed. Spar is in great shape and the AD is complied with, GNX375 ADSB in/out. I'll include 2 older lightspeed headsets, home made wing jacks that came with it, spare spinner, spare shimmy damper, and some other random stuff. Take advantage of this opportunity and pick your colors when you are ready for a paint/interior makeover.
