1974 Cessna A185F Skywagon named top pick in aircraft-for-sale listing

A 1974 Cessna A185F Skywagon is one of the notable aircraft for sale right now, listed for its utility setup and rough-field capability.

The airframe has 4,503 total hours and is equipped for unpaved terrain. Among the modifications are an Alaskan Bushwheel and fork STC, heavy-duty Cleveland main wheels and brakes, and a tail pull handle for maneuvering on the ground.

Fiberglass interior trim panels replace the factory trim. The listing describes them as easier to clean and suited to carrying camping gear, hunting supplies or freight.

Power comes from an engine showing 1,031 hours since major overhaul, paired with an STC-backed Hartzell propeller, governor and spinner. High-efficiency air filters and a quick-drain fuel reservoir are also installed. Maintenance upgrades include STC-certified, heavy-gauge copper electrical modifications.
