1967 Piper PA-28 Cherokee listed as STOL-capable AircraftForSale top pick

A 1967 Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee is an AircraftForSale top pick. The listing highlights short-field modifications and a modernised interior.

The airframe has about 5,485 total hours. A Horton STOL-Craft kit adds leading-edge cuffs, droop tips, a fin and vortex generators. With the rear seats removed, useful load is 892 pounds. An Ashby glareshield and a reworked battery box are also fitted.

The cabin was refurbished in 2024. Front seats were reupholstered in vinyl on new aluminium side panels, and BAS inertia-reel shoulder harnesses were installed.

A 150 hp Lycoming O-320-E2A engine powers the aircraft, with 1,143 hours since a major overhaul. It has a Power Flow tuned exhaust and a Tempest Aeroguard induction filter, a dynamically balanced Sensenich fixed-pitch propeller, and Petersen autofuel supplemental type certificates.

The panel has been modernised and is described as vacuum-free. The Cherokee line is noted for stable handling and straightforward maintenance. The PA-28-140 remains a common choice for student pilots and recreational owners.

The selection is part of a daily feature in which the AircraftForSale team highlights an aircraft for being unusual, well priced or otherwise of interest.
