1988. The final year. The pinnacle of the original Malibu. Some airplanes are desirable because of what they’ve become. Others are desirable because of what they were from the beginning. The 1988 Piper Malibu happens to be both. Tony Beauchamp of Mason Amelia proudly presents N521MM, a highly sought-after, final-production-year Piper Malibu. Representing the culmination of the original Continental-powered PA-46, the 1988 model has long held a special place among Malibu enthusiasts. And this one has plenty more going for it than just the year on its data plate. Under the cowling sits the highly desirable Continental TSIO-550 conversion with less than 100 hours since major overhaul, turning a legendary airframe into an even more compelling cross-country machine. Add a three-blade Hartzell propeller, low total airframe time, and a thoughtfully modernized Garmin glass cockpit, and you’ve got a combination that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. There’s a reason the original Malibu continues to command such a loyal following. Pressurized comfort, impressive high-altitude performance, and remarkable fuel efficiency make it one of the most capable piston singles ever produced. The 1988 model represents the final evolution of that original design, and N521MM brings modern technology to an already exceptional platform. The white exterior with rich, deep green and gold accent striping presents well, while the tan leather interior with coordinating beige and brown trim would benefit from a refresh in the near future. Rather than paying a premium for someone else’s taste, the next owner has the opportunity to create a cabin that’s entirely their own. The expensive upgrades are already represented where they matter most: under the cowling and across the instrument panel. The right year. The right engine. The right foundation. Contact Tony Beauchamp of Mason Amelia for a first-hand conversation about N521MM. When it comes to the PA-46, experience matters. FOR ADDITIONAL MEDIA, VISIT MASONAMELIA .
