Description
This 1978 Piper Arrow III is a great find! The airframe is solid and it comes with a complete set of original logs. The engine is a factory overhaul with very low time. The plane has basic, older IFR avionics. If you are looking for an inexpensive retractable that is mechanically set to provide many years of service or you would like a solid blank canvas to do new paint and an avionics upgrade, this is your choice. At this price, it will not be available for very long, so be sure to contact us right away!
