1958 Cessna 172 Skyhawk
$AUD249,000
This 1958 Cessna 172 Tailwheel Conversion is a professionally rebuilt straight-tail Cessna that combines classic lines with genuine tailwheel capability. Fitted with a Bolen tailwheel conversion, Avcom 180hp conversion and Sportsman STOL kit, it offers strong short-field performance, improved climb and the handling qualities many pilots want in a classic Cessna.
After storm damage in Broken Hill in 1982, the aircraft was totally and meticulously rebuilt over a 20-year period. With 2,280 hours total airframe time, 535 hours since major overhaul on the Lycoming O-360, and just 20 hours since propeller overhaul, VH-WOW presents as an exceptionally well-finished example ready for immediate use.
