Detailed Description

1959 Piper Comanche 250 - Restoration / Project Aircraft

Great opportunity for someone looking to put some sweat equity into a classic Comanche 250. This aircraft has been owned by the same owner for approximately 35 years and has been inactive since around 2020. It has spent that time in a very dry climate and could make an excellent restoration or refurbishment project.

Powered by a 250 HP Lycoming O-540-A2A5, engine serial number L-2480-040.

This aircraft is being offered as a project aircraft and should be approached accordingly. After sitting for an extended period, it will require a thorough inspection, maintenance and refurbishment before returning to service.

That said, the airplane appears to have good bones, complete records, a decent interior and relatively low total airframe time. It could be a great opportunity for someone who wants to restore a Comanche 250 and build significant sweat equity along the way.
