1962 Cessna P172D This 1962 Cessna P172D Powermatic Skyhawk is a distinctive factory-built, high-performance variation of the legendary Cessna 172, offering additional power, a constant-speed propeller, and an impressive maintenance history. Powered by a Continental GO-300-E engine producing approximately 175 horsepower, this aircraft provides a unique combination of classic Cessna handling characteristics and enhanced performance compared with conventional Skyhawk models of its era. With only 2,875 hours of total airframe time and 203 hours since major engine overhaul, this Powermatic has been meticulously maintained and consistently hangared. The Continental engine was overhauled by Performance Aero Engines, and the aircraft is equipped with a McCauley constant-speed propeller. The most recent annual inspection was completed in September 2026, and the aircraft has complied with applicable airworthiness directives. The aircraft features uAvionix skyBeacon ADS-B Out equipment, pilot and copilot shoulder harnesses, a dual exhaust system, new tires and tubes, serviced wheel bearings, and a new battery. The paint and upholstery are both rated 9 out of 10, reflecting the aircraft's well-preserved presentation. Complete logbooks dating back to new are included, and the airframe is free of corrosion. With a reported cruise speed of approximately 127–131 mph, a four-seat cabin, and the distinctive performance characteristics of the Powermatic configuration, this Cessna offers an attractive combination of vintage aviation character, practical flying capability, and exceptional attention to maintenance.
