I'm selling my Grumman AA1A to purchase a 1963 Cherokee 180. Aside
from the usual prepurchase stuff, I'm wondering if there are any
special things to watch out for on early model Cherokees.

Thanks!

Having new torque links, and Ram Horn yokes saves you from 2
re-curring ADs. The yoke AD isn't bad, but the new torque links are
nice to have. It'd also be good if the fuel line AD was taken care
of. It requires removing the tanks and replacing the fuel lines.
Always look for corrosion on the older models just to be safe. Can't
think of anything else off the top of my head.

HTH.
