Hi there,

Finley Air Repair from Finley, WA or if you prefer the un-incorporated area of Kennewick, WA has an Cessna 170 available for sale converted to Continental O-470U which produces 230 HP. Dave Stegall is the owner of that business. Last time I talked to him he had this airplane available for sale for something around $53,000 with an overhauled engine, Sportsman STALL kit, new transponder/radio, etc. The airplane is virtually new. Look for Finley Air Repair or 509-582-3071 if someone has an interest in buying this plane (it was available in February). Since Dave is an A&P and IA he can probably do the tow hook installation and get all the 337's in order prior to the sale.. It was his personal airplane but a small surprise to the size of his family is forcing him to look for a larger airplane.Jacek, Pasco, WA
