This beautiful 1977 Cessna 421C model shows as a well-cared-for aircraft, and as a great example of an 8-passenger piston twin that, in this price category, has no equals! It can carry a pilot and 7 passengers in pressurized comfort above the weather, and go faster and farther with more comfort than anything else in this price range. The Cessna 421C is often referred to as the Rolls-Royce of piston twins.
It is powered by two Continental GTSIO-520-L 375 horsepower engines, which until just recently suffered replacement parts problems. This was the result of a Chinese company purchasing Continental Motors some years ago and not supplying parts properly. That problem has now been solved by a U.S. company recently acquiring Continental Motors back from the Chinese and managing and solving that problem properly. HOORAY!
This aircraft is registered in an LLC in Montana for tax reasons, and the owner would consider selling the LLC for $1.00. This could be a big savings for a new buyer!

Inspection Status
Inspection Status
A very complete and timely annual inspection was completed. During the inspection, two cylinders on the 920-hour engine were found to be on the low side and were replaced with RAM-supplied overhauled cylinders. These have since been flown and broken in according to RAM instructions.
The annual also included replacing brake discs, pucks, and calipers with new replacements, new tires, a new main battery, and numerous smaller items, making this aircraft ready to go to work for the new buyer.
Annual was signed off January 2026.
