1966 C-172 For Auction
I have listed another aircraft on ebay for one of my airport
naighbors, this one is a 1966 Cessna 172G with 795 SMOH, in annual and ready to fly right now. This is NOT a show quality plane, it DOES have major damage history, and it AIN'T perfect. It is not embarrassing in any way, it's just a cheap family cruiser or time builder only. This one should go fairly cheap (as 172's go), and will provide many hundreds or even thousands of hours of cheap, reliable flying. If you're an avionics-porno addict, this one ain't for you. It's a plain vanilla VFR cruiser with nothing worth writing home about in the panel. As I wrote in the auction description, lay a $250 handheld GPS on top of the glareshield and you will arrive at your destination with the same precision as a $200K+ new 172, but you will have $170,000 or so more in your pocket than Mister Full Retail has in his pocket. Perhaps that chunk of money will relieve some of the agony of not keeping up with the avionics Joneses. You can put that $170K into private school for your kids... and the guy who mortgaged his house for the new 172 will have to ship his kids off to public school... and then HE will have to endure the heartache of seeing HIS kids contorting their little hands into incomprehensible gang signals as they are assisted into the back of the police car. Better bid on this 172 in a hurry. Don't do it for me, do it for the sake of your children.... |
