What are some of the better Piper models?

[TDTURBO]

No I think you are incorrect . Most came with 150hp, from the factory.

That's not the point, if most came from the factory with 150 HP, then they would be called a PA-28-150 not a 140.

Best Piper???

Comanche Hands down

The Cherokee 140 is a Cherokee 150 with no back seat and no baggage door.

On further research, the very first year of the Cherokee 140 it was offered with a derated O-320 consisting of a different prop pitch and an RPM limit of 2450, it made 140hp. It sold really poorly and the very next year it was upped back to 150. Just under 6 percent of all the 140's built are equipped with the derated engine and there are probably nearly none left in this configuration.

Today was the first I'd ever even heard of it.

Like all of us, he has a 'Grumman guy' and therefore is entitled to an opinion.
