1966 PA30B Twin Comanche N732CA - Pending

Low Time Engines / Props - Updated Avionics - C/R - Tip Tanks

Summary

N732CA is a 1966 B-model Twin Comanche with below-average airframe time and low prop and engine times. The aircraft has been flown fairly regularly, and recently completed an extensive annual with various repairs and upgrades conducted. There are about six almost imperceptible hail dings on the ailerons and the airplane suffered a left main gear collapse 45 years ago. The paint is in very descent condition but the airplane is in need of a quality finish detail. This is an ideal platform for future enhancements given the long life remaining on the engines and the airplane's history.
