Summary

This low time aircraft is one of the finest examples of an early 180 around. The aircraft has a good maintenance history with many upgrades while still retaining the classic originality of its iconic era. All the logs from day one are present and the records include all the 337 modifications and weight and balance data in excellent order. The aircraft is cosmetically very nice with good older paint. It is always hangered. The upgraded interior is very nice and includes well done fabric seats, wool headliner and carpet that all look new. Larger tires with heavy duty brakes and new ABI tailwheel assembly make this a great back country aircraft and ready for exploring remote areas. The Dynon EFIS upgraded panel was recently completed by Aerotronics, a well-respected avionics shop and includes all new switches, circuit breakers, wiring, engine controls and environmental cables. The custom instrument panel has integrated glove boxes in both the left and right sides. The aircraft also features Attlee Dodge Folding rear seats, Cargo Net and Monarch fuel caps. All ADs are current with a fresh March 2026 Annual inspection. It appears the airplane has never been ground looped. There is one log entry describing damage history in 1966. New tail surfaces were installed and minimal information about aft fuselage repair in the logs dated 1966. This corrosion free sweetheart airplane flies straight, runs great and really is a beauty. It is available immediately and can be seen at the Skypark Airport (KBTF) just outside Salt Lake City. Priced reasonably at $182,900 this aircraft offers great value for a capable low time, ready to go aircraft.
