This very original sundowner is in great shape for an original machine.

The paint is original and cared for.  The white paint shines when washed as it has been regularly waxed, whereas the factory black paint is faded.  Airplane is hangered at CPN4.

The interior is all original equipment except,
    NEW Floor Wood and Carpets 2006
    NEW Front and Rear Seats and padding 2006.

The engine is original to the airframe.   Over the years the cylinders have been replaced so the valves are not as old as the case.  Note the images below showing the compression histories as noted by my mechanic during the past number of years of inspections.

As for why I'm selling, as a 2,500 hour commercial pilot I'm just not using it enough to justify it.  My wife and I have a two year old son, so those quick trips are just not happening.  In additon, my consulting business is not using it as in days gone by.

Lets talk about your needs and if this airplane is your next baby.
