A 1965 Piper Comanche 260 project has been spotted for sale.
Acording to the listing, the aircraft features 5,300 total time (TT) and 1,507 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) on its 260-hp Lycoming IO-540D4A5 fuel-injected engine. Located in Ashland, Wisconsin (KASX) and stored in a hangar, this four-seat, mid-1960s model offers upgraded performance over earlier Comanches with 90-gallon fuel capacity, electric gear and flaps, and toe brakes. It includes multiple speed enhancements—such as an Arapaho windshield, Metco wing tips, and flap/aileron gap seals—achieving faster-than-standard cruise speeds. The interior is well-kept with quality leather and clean panels, while the exterior is in good condition with minor cowling touch-ups suggested for a refreshed look.
The aircraft experienced an accidental gear-up landing but sustained only minor belly and flap skin scrapes, no structural or wing damage, and intact landing gear. Avionics include a King KMA-20 audio panel, KX-170B NAV/COM, KT-76A transponder, ADF, Terra radar altimeter, and Autocontrol IIIB autopilot. It’s sold with complete logs, paperwork, airworthiness certificate, and keys. An easy repair project, it’s promoted as a fast, well-cared-for, and affordable Comanche 260—possibly the cheapest available.
The aircraft is available for US $27,950, although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes additional photos and details.
