1959 Cessna 175 — Zero-Time Restoration - IO-370 - STOL
N7527M is a 1959 Cessna 175 that underwent an extensive ground-up restoration in 2023, transforming a classic Cessna into a modern, high-performance, backcountry-capable aircraft. The restoration incorporated a new Continental IO-370 engine, new Hartzell constant-speed propeller, modern Garmin avionics, completely renewed aircraft wiring, digital fuel indication, upgraded landing gear and brakes, STOL modifications, and expanded utility.
With only 220 hours since the 2023 restoration, this aircraft offers a rare combination of vintage Cessna character, modern systems, serious performance, and exceptional utility.
With a 2,350-lb maximum gross weight and 980-lb useful load, N7527M offers the kind of carrying capability that makes this aircraft much more than a weekend showpiece.
The combination of:
980-lb useful load + IO-370 + constant-speed propeller + STOL cuff + 8.50s + reinforced gear + extended baggage
makes this a particularly compelling aircraft for pilots who want to travel beyond paved runways.
This isn't a 1959 airplane pretending to be new. It's a 1959 Cessna that was completely reimagined for how pilots want to fly today
