A truly classic aircraft in exceptional condition, this beautifully maintained 1948 Cessna 170 is a rare opportunity to own a piece of aviation history. With a total of 2598 hours on the airframe, this aircraft has clearly been cherished throughout its life. Its stunning polished metal finish gleams with care and attention, reflecting not just the sunlight but the pride of ownership that has gone into maintaining this vintage Cessna to such a high standard. Powered by a Continental C-145-2 engine with 720 hours since overhaul, this 170 runs beautifully and benefits from numerous desirable upgrades. It features Superior Clyinders, Slick Magnetos, and the engine push rod modification completed in 2017, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. The propeller was overhauled in March 2025 and has less than 50 hours since, and the aircraft will be sold with a fresh annual inspection providing complete peace of mind for the next owner. The aircraft comes with comprehensive logbooks dating back to 1971. The current owner, an engineer and true aviation enthusiast, has ensured that every maintenance task has been carried out without compromise. This is evident in both the mechanical integrity and the pristine presentation of the aircraft. Rare, beautiful, and full of character, this Cessna 170 stands out as one of the finest examples of its type - marketed by Cessna as the 'Family Car of the Air' It’s a perfect choice for the pilot who appreciates classic tailwheel flying combined with reliability and craftsmanship. N4063V can be viewed at Lee-on-Solent (EGHF). A very special aircraft that’s ready to delight its next owner.
