Well the time has come to sell my 170. It's a great plane and I wish I didn't have to sell it! I spent a lot of time and money getting it set up just the way I want for the backcountry. I'm posting it for sale here first because I would like to see a BCP member get the plane.

Damage history: The airplane wasn't wrecked but I did have to get some gearbox work done due to landing in some rough spots and hitting a couple big rocks. I had to replace both outboard landing gear brackets. Brand new Pponk brackets were installed. I also had some skin replaced on the bottom right side of the cabin due to a small wrinkle just aft of the right gear leg.

Asking $49,000 OBO

PM me if you're interested.

What a sweet ride. I hope to get mine there one day. Great deal for some lucky guy.

Someone is going to get an awesome airplane!

The 170B is a popular plane in Alaska and few examples here are as nice as what you are offering. With the addition of skis and/or floats, your 170B would be an awesome aircraft in Alaska for that guy that can't quite afford to own or operate a 180.

That's a beauty of a 170 Rob! Hope you find her a good home.

Well the 170 has been sold. It went to a nice guy named Matt who lives in Maine. I helped him fly it cross country (literally) from California to Portland Maine last week. We had some good luck and great weather and made the trip in 21.5 hours over 2 days. He joined the forum here so hopefully he will keep us up to date on his adventures in Charley.

Congrats: Good looking workmanship.

I inadvertently managed to enlarge your panel photo and kept trying to read the
N# as the one I owned. Turns out they were 9 #s different with the 5&6 reversed.

Curious - Which is the Master Switch?

Thanks, Chris. The master switch is the first one right of the ignition switch in the middle row.
