Low time Piper Cherokee 140 with only 3230 hours total time. Engine has approximately 1100 hours since major overhaul and 75 hours on an IRAN inspection due to low compressions. Complete logbooks since new and annual inspection completed May 2026. The plane was based in Guatemala from new until 1979 and imported to the US with a new airworthiness certificate. It has the front 2 seats only, no rear seats, but I'm assuming they could be added but better get the input from someone more knowledgeable on this subject than me. Average paint and interior, updated Garmin radio. Annual completed May 2026 and transponder certification current until April 2028. The logbooks reflect damage in 1976 and NTSB report of a landing accident in 1985. Useful load is 768 pounds.

About the Piper Cherokee 140
The Cherokee 140 (PA-28-140) is the cheapest way into Piper ownership — the original 1964 entry-level Cherokee with a 140-150 hp Lycoming O-320. Two-plus-two seating (the rear is small) and a 110-knot cruise; widely used as a basic trainer and time-builder. Affordable, simple, but limited useful load with four people.
Produced 1964–1977.
