1963 Cessna 185

This impressive 1963 Cessna 185 taildragger has been expertly converted from a 182G into an Exhibition EXPERIMENTAL aircraft, combining rugged backcountry capability with high-performance flight characteristics. It’s powered by a 260HP turbocharged, fuel-injected engine, delivering consistent power at altitude and cruise speeds up to 180 MPH. The aircraft was converted in 2015 with Murphy Moose heavy-duty gear, 26-inch bush tires, and double-caliper brakes, making it perfectly suited for unimproved or short field operations. It’s IFR and VFR legal, day or night, in any airspace (ADSB-equipped), with the only limitation being no commercial use. The engine has just 100 hours since major rework and 400 hours SMOH, with a freshly balanced and resealed prop at 1 hour SMOH. Other highlights include extended range 79-gallon fuel capacity, new exhaust system, fresh annual inspection, and new carpet, seats, and paint, giving this aircraft both show-quality appearance and backcountry toughness. This Cessna 185 is a fast, capable, and striking aircraft — ready to go high, go far, and go anywhere.
