Description

There’s a certain kind of airplane that doesn’t just move people - it moves expectations. This 1981 Cessna 421C is exactly that aircraft.

A beautifully kept, cabin‑class piston twin with the kind of ownership pedigree that immediately sets it apart, this Golden Eagle delivers the smooth, confident performance the GTSIO‑powered 421C is known for. Equipped with dual Garmin G600 displays, dual GTN750s, GFC600 autopilot, Flightstream, and CIES senders, it’s a fully modernized platform ready for serious IFR missions.

With a fuel system expanded to a remarkable 299 gallons, this Golden Eagle stretches its wings farther, climbs cleaner, and cruises with the quiet confidence only a well‑loved 421C can deliver. Step inside and the story continues: a refreshed cabin with warm wood accents, LED lighting, conditioned leather seating, and even a lavatory - because comfort shouldn’t be optional at 200 knots.

From its turbocharged Continental power to its beautifully maintained paint and interior, this 421C is the rare combination of pedigree, performance, and pride of ownership that stands out immediately offering refinement owners brag about long after the flight is over.
