Detailed Description This beautifully maintained 1975 Cessna 172M, based at Conroe North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO), combines classic reliability with modern upgrades. With only 4,776 hours on the airframe and a low-time Lycoming O-360-A4M engine (65 hours since new), this 172M benefits from the Gross Weight Increase STC to 2,550 lbs MTOW. The interior was fully refurbished in 2020 with new upholstery, side panels, and carpeting, while the exterior was freshly repainted in August 2025 in Matterhorn White, Aristo Blue, and Toreador Red. This is a truly rare opportunity to own a 172 with a new engine, new propeller, new interior, and new exterior.
