This is not your average Sundowner. Beautifully maintained and upgraded, this 1974 Beechcraft C23 features just over 2,000 total time with ~201 SMOH and an outstanding avionics package totaling nearly $60K in recent upgrades. The aircraft is now equipped with a full Garmin glass panel, including a GNX 375 GPS/ADS-B transponder, GMA 345 Bluetooth audio panel, GNC 215 NAV/COM, GTR 205 COM, (3) GI 275s with EIS, and all-new digital fuel senders — bringing modern functionality to a reliable, time-tested airframe.
The exterior boasts a timeless five-color Imron paint scheme (9/10) with beige, burgundy, aqua, and gold striping. Inside, the aircraft features a luxurious tan leather/sheepskin interior, ultra-leather headliner, and polished wood accents — all rated 9/10 and installed during a complete interior refit in 2005. A new Sensenich prop, strong engine compressions, and freshly calibrated weight & balance make this a turnkey aircraft ready to fly.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a Sundowner this clean, this low-time, and this modernized. It’s perfect for IFR training, private ownership, or flying with confidence in a reliable Beechcraft platform — now paired with cutting-edge avionics and comfort.
