1968 PA30C Twin Comanche N8621Y - $145,000

Highly Modified - Mid-Time Engines - Hangared - Beautiful

Summary

N8621Y is a 1968 C-model Twin Comanche with average airframe time and mid-life engines. It is one of the nicest and well-cared for C models we've seen in a long time. It just went through an extensive (and expensive) annual inspection and the aircraft records are impeccable. This is an ideal platform for an upgrade to the Garmin GFC500 autopilot given its current condition, NDH, and the long life remaining on the its engines.
