1966 PA30B Twin Comanche N7887Y - Price Pending

Recent P&I - C/R Engines - Recent Props - Updated Avionics - Beautiful

Summary

This is one of the nicest original PA30's we've ever seen. Highly modified, N7387Y is a 1964 straight PA30 Twin Comanche with counter-rotating (C/R) engines. The airplane had a gear collapse in 1967 (see damage report below). It is beautifully equipped with an updated instrument panel and digital avionics. And it has beautiful, recent paint and interior in the original scheme. The aircraft has high time engines and typically, it is almost impossible to overhaul engines on legacy airplanes without having more invested in the airplane than it is worth. That said, N7387Y is an exception. Our recommendation would be to fly this lovely airplane as long as the engines remain strong, compressions remain above 70 and overhaul the engines when the time comes.
