Video: I bought a Cherokee 6 for less than $30K and it changed my life

By General Aviation News Staff · April 21, 2020 ·

Eric, a professional cinematographer and the force behind SoCalFlyingMonkey on Instagram and YouTube, recently posted a very entertaining video to YouTube about his airplane.

“I bought a Piper Cherokee 6 (PA32-300) for less than $30,000 and then my A&P/IA Piper guru friend completely renovated it. This is the story of N631BW and its total renovation and resurrection from engine overhaul to avionics to paint and interior,” he says on YouTube.

    As a C.F.I. , I have had the honor of flying the ” 6 ” many times with my customers and checking out a Doctor friend when he bought his 300hp model. I love that airplane and wish I could afford one for myself. I had to be satisfied with my C-172 and my little Tail-dragger as my livelihood as an Instructor. The Cherokee 6 is a real workhorse and a super airplane for traveling with family and baggage and going on trips of a lifetime !
