Description
This 1973 Baron 55 is a great value! The airframe is solid and it comes with a complete set of original logs. The engines were factory new in 2008 and although almost at TBO, they are running strong. The plane is IFR equipped with Garmin avionics including a GNS530 and a GNS430. It also has an Stec 55x autopilot and a JPI engine monitor. The interior looks decent but the plane is in serious need of a paint job. If you are looking for a cheap multi engine time builder or a Beech quality twin that is ready for refurbishment, this is your chance to get a great deal. At this price, it won't be available for very long so be sure to contact us right away!

The overall condition of the paint is very poor and in need of refurbishing. The seats, carpet, side panels and plastic components are in good condition. The glass is serviceable, but does have hazing and crazing.
