Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1968 Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee Cruiser.
Since its introduction in 1960, the Piper PA-28 Cherokee family of light piston singles has competed well in the trainer and personal aircraft markets with Cessna’s more-popular 172 Skyhawk.
For pilots who prefer a low-wing design, the sturdy, practical Cherokee has long been the aircraft of choice. The Piper’s wide-spaced main landing gear helps with ground handling, especially in windy conditions.
Basic, utilitarian aircraft like the PA-28 often are among the better values on the used market and represent a good balance of performance and capability when compared with smaller two-seat trainers with less power and fewer features.
This 1968 Cherokee 140 has 5,611 hours on the airframe with 1,813 hours on its 160 hp Lycoming O-320-E2A engine and Sensenich propeller. The VFR panel includes a traditional six-pack of flight instruments, PMA 600 audio panel, Garmin SL30 nav/com, Appareo Stratus ES/ESG transponder, four-place intercom, and Electronics International C4 CHT monitor.
Pilots looking for an economical four-seat aircraft with forgiving flight characteristics that is well-suited for use as a trainer or personal aircraft for travel or time building, should consider this 1968 Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee Cruiser, which is available for $51,500 on AircraftForSale.
