This Cardinal has a nice panel with a Garmin 530W, JPI 830 and Aerocruise 100 with altitude hold. The interior is leather in good condition. There are many extras like LED lighting, Umbrella fuel caps, Door Stewards and more. The paint is dull with a few rough spots. The plastic is generally solid but has some trouble spots. See pictures below. The engine is at 1765 since overhaul. Oil analysis numbers are good. Several items have been recently upgraded, including the engine hoses, magnetos, oil cooler, fuel pump and Corrosion X routinely applied. It has been well maintained. This should be a solid Cardinal for someone willing to work through the cosmetics and take advantage of the usual longevity of the O-360 engine.
