1973 Grumman AA5 Traveler
TAA! New Interior. 35 Hours STOH!
Exceptionally well‑equipped, IFR‑certified TAA Traveler that combines modern avionics with classic Grumman performance.
With only 4,528 hours total time and 850 hours since major overhaul on its 160HP STC'd Lycoming O‑320‑E2G engine, it offers a worry‑free ownership experience.
The aircraft features an Aspen E5 primary flight display, Garmin GNS‑530W WAAS GPS, Garmin GNC‑255A Nav/Comm with GI‑106 CDI and glideslope, PS Engineering 450B Bluetooth audio panel, and Garmin GTX‑345 ADS‑B In/Out transponder with Bluetooth connectivity to your EFB.
It’s also fitted with a Trio autopilot with GPSS, CGR‑30P engine monitor, AV‑20 backup attitude indicator, and custom powder‑coated panel with LED lighting and rheostat control.
The vacuum system has been removed for a fully electric, reliable setup. Additional highlights include new plugs, ignition harness, alternator, voltage regulator, and a rebuilt carburetor with the Pepperbox mod for improved fuel distribution.
The airframe, with annual inspection valid through October 2025 and current IFR check as of April 2025, features a stunning new Airtex interior rated 9/10, updated plastics, and dual‑color LED map lights. Paint is honest at 6/10
With its thoughtful upgrades, fresh interior, and excellent maintenance pedigree, this Traveler stands out as one of the cleanest, most capable examples on the market—ready for dependable cross‑country missions or efficient everyday flying. All logs complete and continuous.
