1968 M20C For Sale

Recommended Posts

Love the plane, but I'm moving up to a cabin class twin Cessna, and can't justify keeping a second bird. She's impeccably maintained. In the past few years, she's been through two $10k annuals at MSCs to get everything in mint condition. The last annual was in December, and even with a few minor squawks, only cost $3k thanks to the excellent condition the MSC annuals put her in. I am pretty firm on the price, though. This is one of the cleanest C models you'll find around.

  • AFTT: 3,794
  • TSTOH: 400 hours
  • TSMOH: 1,700 hours
  • Annual completed in December 2015 (compressions in the 70s)
  • All ADs complied with, and detailed compliance log maintained
  • Prop almost brand new; not even any paint peeling yet
  • Bran new alternator, engine mounts, vacuum pump; tach refurbished last year
  • MSC did a complete overhaul of the landing gear a few years ago
  • Panel and interior redone a few years ago
  • Garmin 430 (not WAAS)
  • STEC 30 with altitude hold & GPS couple
  • Shadin fuel totalizer (you'll love this if you're used to inaccurate fuel gauges!)
  • EGT & cylinder head temps
  • I'll throw in an Optical Tach and a Garmin GPS MAP 396
  • Logbooks missing for a few years in the 70s, but complete records before and after

Price: $49,900

Looks great, and very tempting. I'm not sure I could fly enough to justify sole ownership. Anyone in the Atlanta area interested in a 1/2 partnership out of kcni or Kryy?

There is an M20G at KGVL looking for a 1/3 partner.

And 1/2 share in a 201 at PDK.

Both on Craigslist.

Hey ATN, the plane looks pretty clean. However at that price point, I'd like to get some more details.

1) What speed mods do you have that I might be missing in the photos?
2) Do you have the AIA or AID engine?
3) Does it have the 1/2" valve conversion?
4) Doghouse or plenum baffles?
5) It looks like a Ranger not a Mark, so fixed step and cowl flaps?
6) I see it has a probes for all cylinder EGT. Is there a CHT probe for each cylinder too or single probe stock?

I think that's it for now. Thanks!

Sorry, I know some guys get into that, but I'm not one of them. I know it runs great, has compressions in the 70s on all cylinders, and doesn't burn oil. But I'm more than happy to send scanned copies of the engine and aircraft logs to anyone interested.

I have a somewhat tempting trade offer on the plane, but I'd really prefer to sell it outright. I need to get it sold quickly, though, otherwise the trade might be off the table in a few weeks. With that in mind, I'm willing to accept $45k in order to get a quick sale. If interested, please contact me. Otherwise the plane will probably be off the market at the end of the month so I can accept the trade offer. Thanks!
