About the Piper Cherokee 160
The Piper Cherokee 160 (PA-28-160, with the closely related PA-28-150) is an early four-seat Cherokee from the first half of the 1960s, powered by a 150-160 hp Lycoming O-320 on the constant-chord wing. It sits between the lighter Cherokee 140 and the 180-hp Cherokee 180, offering a touch more power than the 140 for honest four-seat training and local touring at around 115 knots. These early Cherokees are inexpensive to buy and a common entry into ownership.
