1979 Piper Cherokee Six 300 (PA-32-300) — Low-Time Airframe, Modern Garmin Panel, 7-Seat Hauler An incredible airplane and a rare opportunity: a genuinely low-time 1979 Cherokee Six 300 with just 4,137.96 hours total time on the airframe — well below average for the year — paired with a modern, all-Garmin IFR panel and the coveted seven-seat, forward-facing layout. This is the legendary six-place Piper hauler: the "SUV of the skies" that carries people, gear, and everything in between with 300 honest horses up front. Our family has loved this airplane, and we want it to go to an owner who'll enjoy it as much as we have. *PLEASE TEXT OR EMAIL* Why the 1979 Model Year Is Special 1979 was the final year of the Cherokee Six, and it's the year enthusiasts seek out: the fuel tanks are tied together, making fuel management dramatically simpler than the four-separate-tank earlier airplanes (which require burning the inboards first and careful tank-switching). Add the desirable forward-facing seating with the hard-to-find 7th "jump" seat in the middle row, and you have a true seven-place cabin that's ideal for family, friends, and cargo. Panel & Avionics: This airplane's panel is a standout. It has been upgraded to a powder-coated aluminum panel — no plastic — in 10/10 condition, and it's loaded with a clean, capable Garmin IFR stack: Garmin GNS 430W (Com/Nav/GPS, color) Garmin G5 electronic attitude indicator Garmin GMA 350 audio panel Garmin GTX-345 transponder with ADS-B (In & Out) and Flightstream Electronics International MVP-50 certified engine monitor Collins VHF-251 digital (2nd Com) Collins VIR-351 digital (2nd Nav) Collins DME Century III-C autopilot with altitude hold — please note: the autopilot is currently in need of servicing. We'd rather tell you up front than have you find out later. Everything else in the panel works great. Airframe & Engine: TTAF: 4,137.96 hours — relatively low time for a 1979 Engine: Lycoming IO-540, 300 HP, 1,334.96 hours SMOH Propeller: 1,019.85 hours SMOH Complete logbooks Interior Features: 2 Speed Ventilation Fan Middle row 7th seat Rosin Visors Pilot window air scoop Courtesy lights Exterior Features: Custom wingtips with recognition lights LED landing light Nose fairing included (currently off the aircraft) New wheel fairings for the mains included (currently off the aircraft); original wheel fairings also included Condition — Straight Talk- We're pricing and presenting this airplane honestly. The interior is a 5/10 and the exterior/paint is a 5/10 — both are serviceable and presentable, with room for a new owner to make them their own. Mechanically and avionically, this airplane punches well above those cosmetic numbers. Inspections: Annual inspection due 9/26 — we will include a fresh annual inspection with the sale Transponder check due What's Included in the Sale Complete logbooks, POH, and equipment manuals The 7th seat Custom cover Jump/jump-start cable Battery tender Related maintenance items (to the extent the buyer is interested) Also Available Separately: A Best Tugs B-5 electric tug with charger and Piper Cherokee connecting fork, in excellent condition — available separately to the buyer or anyone who needs a first-class hangar tug. Reason for Sale We simply haven't been flying it as much lately, and an airplane this good deserves to be flown and enjoyed. It's an incredible airplane, and we're looking for the right next owner to carry on with it. *PLEASE TEXT OR EMAIL, I would be happy to jump on a call but am not in a position to answer calls* |

| Lycoming IO-540 that has been solid since the day we purchased it. As long as you're flying regularly, the compressions on all cylinders are great. 9,500 to 11,500 is the sweet spot for this 6/300, I regularly fly in that range sipping 12.8 gal/hr at 130 kts. | |
| Engine Hours: | 1,335 SMOH |
| Interior & Exterior | |
| The interior is not great but gets the job done and feels good. It's great to be able to add the 7th seat when needed and have an enormous rear door for loading / unloading. Everything is functional with reclining seats, great ventilation and heat for colder months / altitudes as well as courtesy lights for all passengers. | |
| Exterior is in similar shape as the interior with normal wear for this year of aircraft. The wheel pants are all included with the sale, this includes the original mains as well as a brand new set that need paint. | |
