### Why Buy This 1973 Cessna 421B Golden Eagle? **Package Deal: Includes Aircraft Plus Crated Spare Engine** N444TA offers turbine-class comfort and real-world cross-country utility without turbine operating costs. Turnkey and exceptionally well-equipped, this offering represents unprecedented value: **the sale includes the complete aircraft plus a crated, runnable spare Continental GTSIO-520 engine (~1,220 hrs)** currently stored in Las Vegas, NV (buyer responsible for shipping from Las Vegas). The aircraft itself features substantial mechanical equity, highlighted by a freshly installed, zero-time RAM Aircraft major overhaul on the right engine (only ~10 hours operational time) equipped with GAMIjectors and RAM camshaft upgrades. Paired with a strong-running Continental GTSIO-520-H on the left side (~877 hrs SMOH) and recently inspected dual McCauley 3-blade props, it delivers 375 HP per side for confident high-altitude cruising. Having a dedicated ~1,220 hr spare engine on hand provides the ultimate peace of mind and operational backup for geared Continental operations. The modernized touchscreen cockpit features a Garmin G600 TXi 10.6-inch PFD with Synthetic Vision, a Garmin GDU 1060 MFD, WAAS navigation via GNS 530W, and a digital Genesys S-TEC 3100 3-axis autopilot with envelope protection and coupled LPV approach capability. A glass L3 ESI-500 standby and fresh 24-month IFR certification by Duncan Aviation ensure total operational readiness. Certified for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI) with full boots and a heated windshield, N444TA pairs all-weather capability with a 5.0 PSI pressurized cabin, factory air conditioning, supplemental oxygen, and Micro AeroDynamics Vortex Generators. Ramp appeal is backed by a 2019 Axalta three-color exterior and a 2020 custom Moore & Giles executive leather interior with sheepskin crew seating. With complete continuous logs from birth, a fresh September 2026 annual inspection, zero deferred maintenance, and a crated spare engine included, N444TA is primed for immediate flight operations.
