NO ENGINE / PROJECT AIRCRAFT – 1976 Cessna Cardinal 177B (N22177)
Rare opportunity to acquire a low-time 1976 Cessna Cardinal 177B with only 2,415 TTAF and an exceptionally upgraded avionics suite. The aircraft currently requires a replacement engine and propeller, with pricing adjusted accordingly. Located at a highly regarded maintenance facility in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where the new owner can coordinate engine and prop installation.
This late-production Cardinal features a premium panel including dual Avidyne IFD550 GPS/NAV/COMs (2025), Garmin GFC 600 digital autopilot, dual Garmin G5 flight displays, ADS-B In/Out, transponder, synthetic vision, WAAS/LPV capability, and JPI engine monitoring.
Following a successful off-airport landing caused by an engine failure, damage was limited to the propeller, nose gear, and minor left wingtip abrasion. The nose gear is being replaced and wingtip repairs are underway. Independent inspections reported no structural airframe damage and no firewall damage.
Always hangared and well cared for, this Cardinal offers outstanding visibility, excellent handling characteristics, and a spacious cabin. With its low-time airframe and extensive avionics upgrades, this is an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to install a new engine and own one of the most desirable Cardinal models at a substantial discount.
