1979 Piper Turbo DakotaSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Sparta, TN, USA

This 1979 Piper Turbo Dakota, listed at $149,500, presents as an "original clean no damage" example according to the seller, with 2,550 hours total time on the airframe. The engine shows 140 hours since major overhaul and the propeller has 40 hours since its last work. The aircraft retains its original King radio package with KX 175s and a KT 76 transponder with ADS-B out, which the seller notes is perfect for either an avionics upgrade or for flying as-is. A Century II autopilot is installed but the seller states it is being worked on and offers no guarantee on its condition.
