The negatives on this plane are: 1. Why did it need new bottoms on both engines? 2. No built in air conditioning, It may have JB air in the divider which is crap, this would kill it for me. 3. Non wass 530. 4. Only 183 gal tanks 5. The STOL kit is heavy and slows the plane . 6. Almost 8k TT
I love 421Bs, but I'd pass on this one.

Looks like 25 years of missing logbooks. Still a very decent aircraft.

Sudden stoppage on both engines apparently.

With that many years missing my guess (and that is all it is) is that the aircraft suffered at least one major damage event and someone thought it was a great idea to discard the log books. Or, the aircraft was repoed at some point in its past and the owner kept/destroyed those records. Or, the records may have been destroyed by accident (fire, flood, etc.) where they were stored. Pricing aside, why consider this one when there are better aircraft out there? Good luck.

Well to be fair to the seller it is just that the files that are shared don’t show. They could be elsewhere.

The ad says that they have complete logs. Again, unless you're not going to fly in the summer, there aren't many people that will buy a 421 without A/C. Also, the only reason I could imagine both engines needing a bottom, would be a belly landing?
