About the Cessna 175

The Cessna 175 Skylark is a four-seat high-wing single built from 1958 to 1962 — essentially a 172 fitted with the geared Continental GO-300 engine for more power and cruise speed. The geared engine gave it strong performance for its day, and many surviving 175s have been converted to standard direct-drive engines. It is an affordable, characterful classic four-seater.

Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$15,000/yr

Buying a Used Cessna 175

Every Cessna 175 faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $25,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 175

What is the Cessna 175?
The Cessna 175 Skylark is a four-seat high-wing single built from 1958 to 1962, essentially a 172 fitted with the geared Continental GO-300 engine for more power and cruise speed.
What is the difference between the Cessna 172 and 175?
The 175 is based on the 172 airframe but uses a geared Continental GO-300 engine instead of the 172's direct-drive engine, giving more power. The geared engine needed careful operation, and many 175s have since been converted to standard engines.
How much does a Cessna 175 cost?
As an affordable classic four-seater with a small fleet, 175 prices depend on condition, engine type (original geared or converted), engine time and avionics. See the live price range and median above.
What engine does the Cessna 175 use?
The 175 was built with a geared Continental GO-300. Because the geared engine required precise operation, many 175s have been re-engined with direct-drive Continental O-300 or Lycoming engines under STC, which is a key value factor.
How many seats does a Cessna 175 have?
Four — two front and two rear seats, the same as the 172 it is based on.
Is the Cessna 175 a good airplane?
It is a capable, affordable four-seater, and converted examples with a direct-drive engine are well regarded. Original geared-engine aircraft need an owner familiar with operating the GO-300. Condition and engine status drive value.
What is the difference between the Cessna 175 and 172?
They share the same basic airframe; the main difference is the engine. The 175's geared GO-300 gave more power and speed when new, while the 172's simpler direct-drive engine proved more durable and popular.
Is the Cessna 175 still in production?
No — production ended in 1962. The 175 is supported by the Cessna and Continental parts networks and a small owner community.
