This 1978 Piper Navajo Chieftain (N27537) presents as a project aircraft or potential parts donor, currently located at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. With an airframe total time of 16,966.2 hours, the aircraft is powered by twin Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD engines - the left showing 8,320 hours since new (1,357 since overhaul in 2004) and the right with 5,313 hours since new (1,051 since overhaul in 2004). Both engines are paired with Hartzell three-blade propellers that were overhauled in May 2010 but show minimal time since overhaul at just 4.3 hours.

The avionics suite includes dual KX175B NAV/COM radios, KMA20 audio panel, KN64 DME, KR85 ADF, Bendix RDR 150 radar, and dual KT76A transponders with Mode C. Notable airframe modifications include vortex generators, high gross gear, and full de-ice capability. The aircraft currently requires new paint and interior work, as it only retains pilot and copilot seats with passenger seating needed. An inspection is currently due. The seller offers an option to include a Piper Seneca II airframe (engines only, no props) for an additional $5,000, bringing the total package to $35,000 for both aircraft.
