1957 Cessna C180A Amphibious
Aircraft Specifications
Engine Information
Description
A classic 180A with serious upgrades. This 1957 model benefits from the lightest airframe in the series—highly sought-after for float operations. It’s currently on wheels but comes with a set of Edo 2700 amphibious floats. Powered by a Continental O-520 with 400 SMOH and a 3-blade Hartzell constant-speed prop, this aircraft has the performance and mods needed for serious backcountry or utility flying. The upgraded interior features a stowable rear bench with excellent cargo flexibility, while a clean blue panel houses a modern Aspen PFD, full engine monitoring, and integrated Garmin avionics. This aircraft is hangar-kept and has been meticulously maintained. The owner is selling due to personal reasons.
