A 1962 Cessna 182E Skylane has come up for sale equipped for real IFR work, not just VFR puttering. The panel carries modern Garmin avionics, a departure from the vacuum-gyro instrumentation the type left the factory with more than sixty years ago. The airframe also carries a low-time scimitar propeller and extended-range fuel tanks, upgrades that turn a classic into something an owner could actually file and fly with confidence.

With reporting from Flying.
