However they were purchased with the understanding they lacked attention. That being said after going through them with a fine tooth comb. Over 1000 labor hours plus a cool 100 grand, now when I compare them to what someone tells me is a nice well maintained flying airplane......naaaaa. Chris Well said Chris!

Very tempted.
Problem is, very few Barons like that that are priced within reason. The top shelf examples are $$$. Plus very few B55s have AC, and it's a no-go item for us.
Best,
Rich I'm in the exact same boat (and right up the road from you). If something like that came along, I'd jump on it immediately. Just looking for a 55 with a 430, AP, Boots and Radar with some time left on the engines.
There's a few out there... I had a 78 B55, boots and radar for awhile, was a great plane.
I could argue to look at the C, D, or E also. The E with the 166 gal tanks is a great plane, too, and a lot of them have boots and radar.
