Engines / Mods / Prop
Powered by the proven, smooth-running Continental O-300 (145 hp) with just 775 hours. This 172 has over a thousand hours of flying ahead before the next overhaul is even a consideration - a major value point on a classic Skyhawk.
Interior / Exterior
The panel keeps the simplicity and reliability of traditional gauges but has been thoughtfully upgraded with GPS and ADS-B Out. Rosin Visors and shoulder Harnesses are also installed. An unused set of cowling and cabin covers are included.
Remarks
A genuinely clean, well-cared-for 1963 Cessna 172D Skyhawk that is ready to fly today. The airframe presents in excellent condition with very attractive paint. The logbooks are complete and the aircraft has no damage history - exactly what a careful buyer is looking for in a classic Skyhawk. Maintained and inspected by the same IA for the past 37 years. Last annual inspection carried out on 28th March 2026.
Whether you are stepping into ownership, building time, or want a dependable, economical cross-country and trainer, this Skyhawk is hard to beat. Honest airplane, honest logs, hangered and maintained with pride. Prebuy inspection encouraged and welcomed.
