1960 Piper Comanche 250Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1960 Piper Comanche 250 (N6823P) presents as a well-maintained example of the fast, capable cross-country platform, showing 4,653 hours total time on airframe. The Lycoming O-540-A1D5 engine has 1,658 hours since its 1993 factory overhaul, paired with a Hartzell HC-A2VK-1 propeller with just 195 hours since its 2020 overhaul. Recent investments include a new Surefly electronic magneto on the left side with a fresh 500-hour inspection on the right magneto, along with comprehensive 2022 landing gear servicing including motor reconditioning, new springs/bushings, and rigging.

The panel features capable IFR equipment including a Garmin GNS 430 with glide slope, King KX 155 nav/com, KN 64 DME, and dual-axis autopilot with altitude hold via Century IIB and S-Tec systems. The aircraft is ADS-B compliant with a uAvionix Tail Beacon and includes useful monitoring tools like a JPI EDM 700. The 1288 lb useful load is supported by 90 total gallons across main and tip tanks, with a left main fuel cell replaced in 2022. Both interior and exterior present well, with leather seats and excellent paint condition noted.

Maintenance highlights include a November 2024 annual, recent stabilator horn AD compliance, and complete original logbooks documenting the aircraft's care. The seller emphasizes this as a ready-to-fly example with no deferred maintenance, contrasting it against project aircraft. The description notes particular attention to reliability investments by the current owner, including the landing gear overhaul and electrical system upgrades like an InterAv alternator and SkyTec starter.
