1963 Cessna 205Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1963 Cessna 205 (N8408Z) presents as a well-maintained example with a distinguished ownership history, having been flown by a respected Denver aviator since 1971. The aircraft shows 4,820 hours total time with a Continental IO-470-S engine showing 1,718 SMOH by Firewall Forward and a McCauley propeller with 912 SPOH by Rocky Mountain Propeller. Notably, it has no damage history or corrosion, always hangared, and comes with complete original logs. The 80-gallon fuel capacity combines with a 1,285 lb useful load for strong utility capability.

The aircraft features several valuable upgrades including a Horton STOL kit, aerial photography door mod, and Oilamatic engine preoil system. The panel is well-equipped for IFR operations with dual King KX-155 nav/coms (one with glideslope), Garmin GPS400W WAAS, L3 Lynx NGT-9000 ADS-B In/Out transponder, and Shadin fuel totalizer. The interior presents in very good condition with off-white and brown leather-like seats, while the exterior shows white with yellow trim and brown metallic accents in very good condition with paint dating to 1990. With an annual due February 2026 and stellar maintenance by a Cessna factory shop, this aircraft represents a turnkey example of the 205 model.
