1959 Piper Comanche 250Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1959 Piper PA24-250 Comanche (N5376P) presents as a well-maintained example with recent upgrades and consistent maintenance. The airframe shows 1,578 total hours with a 2017 restoration that included fresh paint (still in great condition) and a leather interior described as excellent. Power comes from a Lycoming O-540 paired with a McCauley 3-blade propeller, showing 774 hours SMOH, 294 hours since top overhaul, and a near-new propeller with just 232 hours. Recent compressions are strong across all cylinders (74-78 psi).

The panel features modern Garmin avionics including a GTN 750 GPS/NAV/COM, dual G5 flight displays, GTX 345 ADS-B transponder, and a GFC 500 autopilot, complemented by a JPI EDM 900 engine monitor. With a July 2024 annual, complete logs, and a 1,040 lb useful load, this Comanche delivers practical utility, cruising at 150 knots while burning 13.5 gph. Based at KMIC (Minneapolis), it's actively flown and presents as a turnkey IFR platform with recent investment in both airframe and systems.
