1968 Cessna 177 Cardinal with 180HP Conversion
Description
Beautifully cared-for, upgraded, and corrosion-free Cardinal ready to fly!
If you’ve been looking for the right Cardinal — one that’s clean, upgraded, and meticulously maintained — this is the one.
C-GHTR is a 1968 Cessna 177 Cardinal that’s been converted to a 180 HP Lycoming O-360-A3A with a constant-speed Hartzell propeller, giving it the climb and cruise performance you wish every early Cardinal had.
With no damage history, no corrosion, and a 8/10 exterior (2 spots with paint imperfections), this aircraft is a standout example of its kind. The interior rates 7/10, with all plastics, upholstery, and panels in excellent shape. It’s clear this airplane has been pampered by experienced owners who spared no expense to keep it flying and looking its best.
Why You’ll Love It:
This Cardinal offers the perfect blend of classic lines and modern performance. The 180 HP engine and constant-speed prop give it exceptional climb and cruise capability, while the Horton STOL kit adds versatility for shorter strips. It’s turn-key, corrosion-free, and fly-away ready with fresh maintenance and upgrades already done.
Whether you’re moving up from a trainer or looking for a capable cross-country machine with personality, this Cardinal is a joy to fly — light on the controls, efficient, and beautifully maintained.
