Description
This very low-time Cessna 175 has been upgraded with the desirable Lycoming O-360 conversion, replacing the original geared Continental with a simpler, more reliable engine that delivers stronger performance and easier maintenance. The conversion transforms the aircraft into a very practical performer while retaining the balanced flying characteristics the 175 is known for. It offers Cessna 172-like performance for a fraction of the price, making it an excellent option for pilots looking to get into a Cessna. With its classic straight-tail styling, clean airframe, and sensible upgrades (including ADSB and Auto-Pilot), this aircraft combines vintage character with reliability, practicality and character. This airplane has a fresh annual (March 2026) and is ready to fly. Ferrying and export assistance is available through our specialists.
