A true unicorn! This 1961 Cessna 175B Skylark is a head-turner, meticulously maintained with only 2667 TT (hours may increase as flown regularly). Upgraded with a powerful Lycoming O-360 (928 SMOH, 464 STOH) and Hartzell 2-blade CS prop (968 SPOH), it outflies a C172 at a fraction of the cost. Stunning 8+/10 paint, flawless 9.5/10 interior, and near crystal-clear glass make it look almost showroom new. IFR-ready with dual Garmin G5s, GNX 375 GPS/ADS-B, GNC 255A Nav/Com, GTR 225 Com, and a GFC-500 autopilot (Garmin's testbed for C175 certification).
Boasting a 934-lb useful load, Rosen visors, and LED lights, this Skylark is perfect for time-building, IFR training, or family adventures. Complete logs since new (even have the original 1961 brochure) -a rare gem ready to soar!
