Detailed Description

Pristine 1980 Cessna 180K with Skywagon II package.

TTAF 4259 with COMPLETE LOGS and NO DAMAGE history.

IN-ANNUAL with current pitot-static inspection for IFR ops.

Hangared in California.

Sometime regarded as 'the unicorn' of Skywagons, this is a factory seaplane built with optional 88-gallon BLADDERS and zinc-chromate primer throughout the interior skins. It also has the unique combination of extended baggage, 10-degree flap position, 24-volt electrics with battery underneath the baggage compartment, quick-release rear bench seating which articulate, courtesy 'porch' lights underneath the wings, super bright grimes lighting in the cockpit and extended baggage area, rudder return spring access plates, and the SK185 jack-screw access panel in the bottom rear of the fuselage.

Simply put, you are not going to find another Skywagon having as much attention to detail as this one, in this price range. The plane actually looks BETTER in person than in the photos - come and see for yourself. The plane has been recently waxed and the paint is as shiny as when redone in 2017. Come take a test flight with me and prepare to be impressed with the performance and quality mods and maintenance of this Skywagon.

Circumstances force sale. Can provide CFI training for insurance checkout in the plane upon purchase.
