1962 PIPER CHEROKEE 160, LOW TIMES, RECENT REFURBISH AND PAINT, SUPER CHEAP !!
THIS IS A SUPER CLEAN, SUPER NICE 160 CHEROKEE !!
UNLIKE THE 160 H.P. CONVERSIONS WHICH CAN BE DONE TO THE CHEROKEE 140 TRAINER, THE 160 MODEL, LIKE THIS ONE, IS A CHEROKEE 180, WITH A 160 H.P. LYCOMING ENGINE UP FRONT !!
THAT MEANS IT HAS A REAL BACK SEAT, A FULL COMFORTABLE BENCH LIKE THE 180 HAS, NOT THE LITTLE HARD JUMPSEATS INSTALLED IN ANY "4 PLACE " 140 !!
AND INSTEAD OF 10 INCHES OF SPACE BEHIND THE JUMPSEATS LIKE A 140, THIS 160 HAS A FULL SIZE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT AND A FULL SIZE LOCKING BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT DOOR !!
THE BEST PART OF THIS AIRPLANE, AND ANY 160, CONVERSION OR OTHERWISE, IS THE FANTASTIC LYCOMING 160 HP ENGIN Q\DSQ DDDE !!
EASY TO OPERATE, SMOOTH, FUEL EFFICIENT, AND SUPER DEPENDABLE !!
THIS AIRPLANE HAS A SUPER LOW 2753 HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE AIRFRAME !!
THE 0-320D2A 160 H.P. ENGINE HAS ONLY 188 HORS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, AND LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT OFF OF !! (2000 HOUR T.B.O.)
JUST BECAUSE AN AIRPLANE OF THIS VINTAGE HAS LOW TOTAL TIME, DOESNT MAKE IT NICE. IN FACT, IF IT WAS SITTING UNUSED IN AN AREA WITH A CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERE, WITH ORIGINAL PAINT, GLASS, INTERIOR AND INSTRUMENTS, THE LOW TIME WOULDN'T MATTER.
BUT THIS LOW TIME PLANE IS FANTASTIC !!
NEWER PAINT, IN CLASSIC COLORS, BUT WITH A CUSTOM, UPDATED SCHEME
AT THE AREAS THAT AREN'T PAINTED, LIKE INSIDE THE WINGS AND AT THE FUSELAGE ATTACH POINTS, THE ALUMINUM SKIN IS SHINY, AND SMOOTH, NOT QUITE LIKE NEW ALUMINUM, BUT SO CLEAN YOU WILL NOTICE, AND BE SURPRISED !!
DETAILS OF THE PAINT JOB ATTEST TO THE FINIKY, AND MAYBE EVEN OVER THE TOP NATURE OF THE OWNERS ATTENTION TO UNIQUENESS, AS THE FIREWALL IS NOT ONLY PAINTED WHITE TO MATCH THE AIRPLANE, BUT STRIPED TO MATCH AS WELL !!
THE ENGINE CASE IS ALSO WHITE !!
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CHEROKEE WITH THIS MUCH DETAIL INDER COWL, AND I HAVE SEEN, AND OWNED, HUNDREDS (MAYBE EVEN A THOUSAND)
EXTERIOR UPGRADES ALSO INCLUDE LATE MODEL METCO WINGTIPS WITH BUILT IN RECOGNITION LIGHTS VISIBLE THROUGH CLEAR PLASTIC COVERS. THESE TIPS ADD TO TOP SPEED AND REDUCE LANDING SPEED, WHILE HELPING WITH "SEE AND BE SEEN "
THE INTERIOR HAS ALSO HAD THE UPDATE TREATMENT, WITH THE SEATS AND SIDE PANELS BEING RECOVERED IN SOFT BLACK CLOTH. VERY SHARP
THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED, AND THE PLASTICS PAINTED AS WELL.
THE DASH IS VERY CLEAN, WITH ALL OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HAVING BEEN UPGRADED TO MODERN UNITS
AVIONICS CONSIST OF A NARCO NAV-121 STAND ALONE VOR. THE AIRPLANE LOOKS LIKE A GPS-COMM OF SOME KIND WOULD MAKE IT ALL AROUND GREAT (NOT INCLUDED, BUT AVAILABLE, FROM US OR OTHERS, NOW OR ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE.
I'LL BET YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THIS SUPER NICE AIRPLANE IS SOOOO CHEAP?
ON LANDING, THE AIRPLANE EXITED THE RUNWAY, THROUGH GRASS, AND PUSHED THE NOSE GEAR, WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE TUBULAR ENGINE MOUNT, REWARD.
THE NOSEGEAR ASSEMBLY ITSELF DOES NOT SHOW DAMAGE, AND THE TUBE IS NOT BENT, BUT THE TUBULAR MOUNT IS DAMAGED.
AS THE GEAR ONLY WENT PARTWAY BACKWARD, NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE FIREWALL, CABIN HEAT BOX, OR BELLY SKINS
THE CARB HEAT BOX IS UNDAMAGED, AND THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES LOOK GOOD.
THE EXHAUST PIPE, WHICH CLAMPS TO THE MUFFLER IS BENT SLIGHTLY, BUT THE MUFFLER AND SHOUD ARE NOT BENT !!
AS A RESULT OF THE LOWERED FRONT END, THE PROP WAS ALLOWED TO HIT THE GROUND, AND IT HAS SOME VERY FINE NICKS IN THE LEADING EDGE, WHICH WILL CLEAN UP, AND POSSIBLY A VERY SLIGHT BEND, BUT IF SO, IT WILL STRAIGHTEN BECAUSE IT IT TO SLIGHT TO CONFIRM WITHOUT THE PROPER TOOLS.
THE PROPELLOR DID NOT STOP THE ENGINE FROM TURNING, IT WAS SHUT DOWN MANUALLY BY THE PILOT !!
THERE IS NO COWLING DAMAGE
THE SPINNER IS UNDAMAGED
IN FACT THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE AT ALL !!
THIS AIRPLANE WAS DISASSEMBLED TO MAKE TRANSPORTATION TO YOUR REPAIR LOCATION EASIER.
THE TUBULAR ENGINE MOUNT CAN BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED EASILY.
THE PROPELLER WILL REQUIRE OVERHAUL ($3-400)
WHAT A GREAT, SUPER EASY WINTER PROJECT !!
AND SUCH A NICE LOW TIME AIRPLANE WITH CRAZY LOW TIME ENGINE !!
