It's a 1958 Cessna 182A, probably a used up "dog" with well over 10,000 hours on it ( my guess). These planes used at parachute centers usually live a very hard life with a lot of takeoffs and landings, and the engines are worked hard as well with frequent hard climbs and then a mad dash to beat the jumpers to the ground to take the next load up.Approaching 900 hrs, this plane could need six new cylinders because of the way it operates. I wouldn't expect any more avionics than one comm and a xpdr/encoder. The ad seems to have left a lot of the normal info out you would put in an ad selling a plane....perhaps the barefoot girls make up for that omission!
