This 1968 Piper Aztec D (N6716Y) represents a well-maintained example with excellent ramp appeal and operational capability. The airframe shows 4,920 total hours with fresh annual completed in October 2024, while the Lycoming IO-540-C4B5 engines show 710 SMOH on the left and 610 SMOH on the right (130 hours since IRAN after a 2022 seizure incident). Both props have approximately 1,050 hours SMOH with recent IRAN and resealing. The aircraft delivers strong performance with a 164-knot true airspeed and a 2,100 lb useful load, featuring deice boots, heated props, built-in oxygen, and a carbon fiber instrument panel overlay with modern avionics including dual Garmin GNS-430W/430 units, GTX-335 ES transponder, STEC 55X autopilot, and JPI EDM-790 engine monitor.
The exterior was painted in 2003 and remains in excellent condition with polished surfaces, while the light gray leather interior (also refurbished in 2003) shows minimal wear. Notable upgrades include the two-piece cowl modification, GAMI injectors, M20 air/oil separators, and LED lighting throughout. The aircraft has no damage history, features Alpha Aviation inertia reel shoulder harnesses, and includes complete logs. The seller notes this Oshkosh award-winning Aztec is flown approximately 100 hours annually and is open to trades for cabin-class twins, preferably pressurized. Delivery within the U.S. is available at buyer's expense.
