This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.
Engine Life
Based on 80 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,500 hr TBO for the Continental IO-470.
95% of TBO remaining
≈ 22.5 years to overhaul at its historical pace
1,420hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~63 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.
Estimated overhaul cost ($24,000) spread over 1,500 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.
Airframe time
Average over the aircraft's life — 4,126 hrs total time across ~66 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Typical utilization
This airframe has averaged about 63 hrs/year over ~66 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.
Damage history
Reported in the listing — confirm against the airframe and engine logbooks.
This listing reports prior damage. Properly repaired damage does not automatically disqualify an aircraft, but it can affect value, insurability, and resale. Ask the seller for the repair records (and any FAA Form 337s / STCs), and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the repaired area and the surrounding structure.

Cost to own
Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Engine reserve from the panel above is folded into the split. Your actual costs will vary.
As a sole owner
≈ $241 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$52,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,120 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $52,000 | $2,010/mo | $24,120/yr |
| 1/2 share | $26,000 | $1,505/mo | $18,060/yr |
| 1/3 share | $17,333 | $1,337/mo | $16,040/yr |
| 1/4 share | $13,000 | $1,253/mo | $15,030/yr |
Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection, engine reserve) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
