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.
