Remarks

Sacramento based and hangared for the last 30 years. Complete logs. No damage history. No hail. No corrosion. The Challenger is only in 1973 and is the transition between the Cherokee 180 and the Archer that has the tapered wing. Challengers have longer Hersey bar wings and the wide tail, panel and fuselage of the Archer and are unique in the production run and knowledgeable buyers seek them out.
