1943 Beechcraft D17SSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1943 Beechcraft D17S Staggerwing (N663, s/n 4903) presents as a well-maintained example with 2,336 total airframe hours and a recent firewall-forward overhaul. The Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine and Hamilton Standard 2D30 aluminum propeller both show just 37 hours since major overhaul, with a 1,200-hour TBO remaining. Currently configured for VFR operations, the aircraft features a Trig TN70 transponder and Garmin GDL82 ADS-B system for modern airspace compliance. The seller describes it as a "nice solid" airframe, emphasizing the recent mechanical refresh while maintaining its classic Staggerwing character. Based in Redondo Beach, California, this 1940s icon combines vintage appeal with updated avionics and a freshly overhauled powerplant.
