Bellanca 17-30 Viking

In 1966, Bellanca re-engined the Bellanca 260C (Model 14-19-3A) with a 300 hp Continental IO-520 and named the new aircraft the Viking 300 (Model 17-30).  In typical Bellanca nomenclature, 17-30 denotes a 17 sq ft wing and a 300 hp engine.

By the time initial production ended in 1980, over 1,600 Vikings of all versions had been built.  I haven't been able to find much info on more recently produced Vikings.
