1979 CESSNA R172 HAWK XP II
Description
1979 Cessna 172K Hawk XP II (Isham 210 HP Conversion) — $129,900
Overview:
A true hot-rod 172. This Hawk XP II features the desirable Isham STC conversion, 210 HP Continental TCM IO-360-KB2 with a constant-speed prop. The result is a fantastic-sounding, fast-climbing, and fast-cruising cross-country machine that handles high-density altitudes and short fields with ease. Carefully owned by the same pilot since 2019 (just the second owner since new), she has been flown regularly—most recently on a trip to Martha’s Vineyard (KMVY) in July 2026. Always praised for running exceptionally smooth.
IFR Certified
Hangaring History: Meticulously cared for across her life—hangared from 1979 to 2019 at Inyokern (KIYK, CA), tied down at Camarillo (KCMA, CA) from 2019–2021, and kept under a covered tie-down at Robertson Field (KSNC, CT) from 2021 to 2026.
Additional Details:
Second owner since 2019; logs are complete from 2019.
Based at KSNC (CT).
Reason for sale: Simply not flying enough to justify keeping her (even the IA is giving me a hard time for underutilization). Ready for her next loving home.Spécifications
