This 1960 Piper Comanche 180 (N311SS) represents a meticulously upgraded example with only 1,450 total airframe hours and a fresh 50 SMOH on its Lycoming O-360-A1A engine by Carter Aircraft Engines. The aircraft features a comprehensive avionics suite including a Garmin GNS 530 GPS/NAV/COM, dual uAvionix AV30S displays, PS Engineering PMA 8000G audio panel, and dual CGR-30 engine monitoring systems, making it fully IFR-capable. Notable upgrades include speed modifications, Cooper cables, gap seals, wingroot fairings, LED lighting throughout (landing, taxi, position, and strobes), and a one-piece windshield.
The exterior boasts a striking custom paint scheme with eagle graphics and near-perfect glass, while the interior features light beige custom leather seats with matching side panels and carpet, complemented by a woodgrain instrument panel. With a fresh annual completed in May 2024 and logbooks available for review, this Comanche stands out from typical examples through its extensive restoration and attention to detail. The seller emphasizes that photos don't fully capture the aircraft's condition, describing it as "not your run of the mill Comanche" with years of patient restoration evident throughout.
