P&I good for an airplane of this vintage. Recovered seats. Needs carpets. Have a headliner to install.
Hangar for last 25 years.

I've been in a this great partnership for over 20 years. Managing partner is also a CFII, but gives no instruction to any but other partners in this aircraft.
Reluctantly selling, but my heart's been stolen by a sweet Comanche 260B.
Based KFDK. $165/mo fixed, $45/hr dry.

Asking $8,700 includes mx reserve

PM for further details. Thanks.

Great looking airplane! Certainly an interesting placement of the instruments...is there any reason behind this?

That's standard for the era. Here's a 182 panel from the same time:

Cessna and Piper didn't adopt the standard "6-pack" layout until '68 or '69 IIRC. Seems like Beech was first to adopt the modern layout though.

You learn something new every day. The thing that stood out most for me was the VOR/glideslopes are kinda thrown here and there...and the mag compass. Just a matter of adjusting your scan!

Looks like a nice airplane. Good luck recruiting a partner. I could use another myself.
