1954 Cessna 180 in like-new condition. Has been carefully maintained in every detail.
Trim painted by Morgan Aircraft Restorations, Arlington, WA. Original paint scheme with all insignias. All painted surfaces were etched, alodined, and primed. Bottom side of wings, belly, horizontal stabilizer, control surfaces, cowl, fairings, and access panels painted gray metallic. Fuselage trim Green Grass metallic. Paint is 9.5. Many upgrades that do not distract from original look. Airplane is HIGHLY-POLISHED aluminum. Absolutely NO CORROSION inside or out. NO damage history. NO hail damage. NEVER ground-looped. NEVER on floats or skis. Always hangered in dry country. ALL complete logs and maintenance history with 337s and STCs. Annual due May 2025. ADs up to date. Same owner 30 years. It's as close to perfect as we've seen an airplane of this vintage. One of the few 180s left that is a very original, true 180. A rare find.
