About the Piper Cherokee Six
The Piper Cherokee Six (PA-32-260 and PA-32-300) is the fixed-gear, six-and-seven-seat hauler that launched the PA-32 family — a simple, rugged Cherokee stretch with a big cabin and a separate front-and-rear double door arrangement that swallows people and cargo. Powered by the 260 hp or 300 hp Lycoming, it is prized for its load-carrying ability and low maintenance compared with its retractable Lance and Saratoga siblings.
Produced 1965–1979. Total produced: 5,000.
