1962 CESSNA 172, SWEPT TAIL, STRAIGHT BACK, NICELY UPDATED, GREAT CONVERSION CANDIDATE, CHEAP !!
THIS IS A VERY NICE 172 !!
UPDATED PAINT IN AN EYE-CATCHING SCHEME, NOT A PLAIN JANE LOOK !! NICE SHINY CONDITION, FULL OF LIFE !!
TAN INTERIOR IS VERY NICE, TWO-TONE INSERTS ON THE SEATS, AND SPECIAL TWO-TONE SCHEME ON THE SIDE PANELS AS WELL !!
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHILE TIED DOWN AS A RESULT OF HIGH WINDS.
THE AIRPLANE WENT UP ON THE LEFT GEAR, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO:
THE LEFT WING OUTBOARD SKINS AND TIP RIB. THE SPARS ARE OK, AND THE FIBERGLASS TIP IS SCRAPED BUT NOT DESTROYED.
NO DAMAGE INBOARD OF THE FARTHEST OUT "EXTENSION" SKINS, AND ONLY THE OUTBOARD RIB IS DAMAGED, THE REST ALL LOOK GOOD
THE LEFT GEAR LEG IS BENT, AND THE GEAR LEG PULLED AWAY FROM THE CASTINGS INSIDE THE FUSELAGE, WHICH PROBABLY DAMAGED BOTH GEAR CASTINGS ON THE LEFT SIDE.
THERE IS A SINGLE FUSELAGE SKIN WHICH IS WRINKLED AROUND THE LEFT GEAR, BUT THE DOOR FRAME APPEARS STRAIGHT.
THE LEFT WHEEL OUTER HALF IS BENT SLIGHTLY.
THAT IS THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE !!
THE FUSELAGE LOOKS STRAIGHT AND THE DOORS CLOSE WELL !!
THE REST OF THE LEFT WING IS STRAIGHT, AND THE LEFT AILERON, FLAP AND LIFT STRUT ARE UNDAMAGED !!
THE RIGHT SIDE WING, FLAP, AILERON, TIP AND LIFT STRUT ARE UNDAMAGED.
THE ENTIRE TAIL, INCLUDING ALL OF THE TAIL FEATHERS ARE UNDAMAGED !!
THE COWLING, FIREWALL AND NOSEGEAR ALL LOOK GOOD
ALL GLASS LOOKS GOOD
WHEELS AND BRAKES ARE UPDATED TO CLEVELAND'S, AND THE ROTATING BEACON HAS BEEN UPDATED TO A STROBE
INSIDE, THE DASH IS VERY CLEAN.
ALL FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ARE LATE STYLE UNITS, ALL LOOK GOOD
THE YOKES HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO NEWER PADDED RAM'S HORN UNITS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE IS INCLUDED.
AIRFRAME LOGS ARE ALSO INCLUDED, AS ARE FAA BILL OF SALE!
OLD RADIO PANEL UNITS AND INDICATORS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, AND THIS AIRPLANE IS READY FOR THE GPS/COM YOU REALLY WANT !!
THE 0-300, 145 H.P. ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MOUNT, AND IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS SALE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THE ENGINE MOUNT IS INTACT AND INCLUDED, AS ARE THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES, WIRING, OIL TEMP PROBE, ETC., SO IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK WITH AN 0-300, IT WILL BE BOLT-IN.
I SUSPECT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE READING THIS THINKING THAT THIS IS A PERFECT 180 H.P. LYCOMING CANDIDATE !!
I AGREE, IT ALREADY LOOKS SHARP, AND WITH THE EXTRA POWER AND LIGHTER ENGINE WEIGHT OF THE 0-360, THIS AIRPLANE WILL BE A REAL PERFORMER.
BUT WAIT, INSTEAD OF DOING THE REPAIR TO THE EXISTING GEARBOX, IT ISN'T MUCH MORE WORK TO SIMPLY COVER THE EXISTING GEAR HOLES UP, AND INSTALL THE FORWARD GEARBOX, WHICH ALLOWS FOR CONVERSION OF THIS AIRPLANE TO A TAILDRAGGER !!
START WITH AN ALREADY PRETTY AIRPLANE, AND HAVE THE BACK-COUNTRY PLANE OF YOUR DREAMS, WHILE STARTING WITH A VERY LOW INITIAL INVESTMENT !! (MOST PEOPLE CONVERT DOGGY $25,000 AIRPLANES, OR NICER $35,000 ONES.
YOUR PROJECT WILL START AT LESS THAN $5,000 !!
CURRENTLY LOCATED IN FOLEY ALABAMA, WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTHEAST, IT'S AN EASY TRIP. IF YOU DON'T, WOULDN'T JANUARY BE A GREAT TIME FOR A TRIP DOWN THERE?
NICE EASY REPAIR PROJECT ON A FAR ABOVE AVERAGE PLANE !!
GOOD BIDDING !!
AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT…FOLEY AL…..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.
REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
