SELLER FINANCING MAY ALSO BE AVAILABLE!! Offered for sale is a beautifully restored 1961 Cessna 210B, a true classic high-performance, complex aircraft that has been maintained with an open checkbook and no shortcuts. This airplane is actively flown, so all times will change. Powered by a Continental IO-470-S producing 260 horsepower, the engine has only 198.1 hours since major overhaul completed by Aircraft Engine Specialists in Chandler, Arizona. Fuel flow and efficiency are enhanced with GAMI injectors, and the aircraft is equipped with a three-blade McCauley propeller that delivers smooth operation and strong performance. The aircraft has a fresh annual completed in November 2025 and comes with full, complete, and continuous logbooks. It has been meticulously restored and highly maintained, with no expense spared. Recent major work includes a complete overhaul of the hydraulic system, a newly overhauled hydraulic power pack, and a new nose gear bungee. The scope of maintenance and restoration work is extensive and goes far beyond what can reasonably be listed here, reflecting exceptional care and attention to detail throughout. Avionics and equipment include a 406 MHz ELT and a uAvionix SkyBeacon ADS-B Out system, making the aircraft fully compliant. This airplane presents as a well-sorted, turn-key example of the early Cessna 210. A STOL kit enhances takeoff and landing performance, making this aircraft versatile and capable across a wide range of missions. This 210B is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a capable cross-country aircraft or a high-performance and complex time builder. Clean, honest, and properly maintained examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
