Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1967 Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee/Archer.
Several manufacturers can lay claim to getting an aircraft right the first time.
Cessna’s 172 is a famous example. So is Beechcraft’s Bonanza. Both are still being produced today.
Piper’s PA-28 is another that worked beautifully and was a hit from the beginning. Some pilots would say, however, that it was the 180 hp version, which came a few years later, that turned the Cherokee into a legend. With 180 hp instead of 150 or 160, the Archer version has just enough extra performance to set it apart and make it a truly capable all-rounder.

The aircraft for sale today is largely original, from its classic paint scheme to its vintage panel. Its 180 hp engine, though, is a low-time example that promises years of reliable service. This archer is waiting for the right pilot—one who wants a combination of capability, flexibility, and economy.
This 1967 Piper PA-28-180 has 2,738 hours on the airframe, 354 hours since overhaul on its 180 hp Lycoming O-360 -A4A engine, and 2,738 hours since new on its Sensenich M76EMMS propeller. The aircraft is equipped with 50-gallon fuel tanks, BAS shoulder harnesses, pilot toe brakes, and boasts a useful load of 1,009 pounds.
The VFR panel features a Bendix/King KX 125 nav/com, Narco 12B nav/com, Bendix ADF-T-12C, Airmarc 288 audio panel, AT 50 transponder, Electronics International volt/amp meter, and Tetra EGT/CHT monitor.
Pilots looking for a versatile, economical personal aircraft for travel or training should consider this 1967 Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee/Archer, which is available for $74,900 on AircraftForSale.
