About the Piper Cherokee Six
The Piper Cherokee Six (PA-32-260/300) is the original fixed-gear PA-32 — a six-seat single built 1965-1979 with a big cabin, double cargo doors and either a 260 hp or 300 hp Lycoming. It cruises around 145 knots and is the most affordable way into a six-seat Piper, prized for utility, freight and skydiving roles thanks to its big rear door.
Produced 1965–2005. Total produced: 5,000.
