About the Cessna 421B
The Cessna 421B Golden Eagle is the mid-production cabin-class pressurized twin (1968-1975) — an up-to-eight-seat aircraft on geared, turbocharged 375-hp Continental GTSIO-520 engines that brought near-airliner comfort to the piston market. It cruises near 230 kt pressurized and is the predecessor to the more-refined 421C, so the choice between them is year, systems and condition. As with all 421s the defining cost is the geared GTSIO engines and pressurization upkeep, not the airframe.
Produced 1968–1975.
