Description
Patrick Jamison of Mason Amelia presents N9495V, a 1970 Mooney M20C that embodies the “affordable speed” formula that has made early Mooneys so enduring. Impressive cross-country performance, exceptional fuel efficiency, and straightforward ownership costs. N9495V builds on that proven foundation with a thoughtfully modernized panel. The panel has an Aspen EFD1000 Pro electronic flight display, Garmin GNS 480 WAAS GPS/NAV/COM with LPV approach capability and a Garmin GNS 430 GPS/NAV/COM. A Garmin GTX 33ES provides ADS-B Out, while a JPI EDM-830 gives the pilot comprehensive engine monitoring. A modern audio panel, dedicated backup instrumentation, USB power and an updated ELT complete a well-equipped and practical IFR cockpit. Beyond the panel, N9495V reflects years of continued ownership attention and meaningful upgrades rather than simply being preserved in its original configuration. A Power Flow tuned exhaust system and LASAR cowl enclosure further complement the M20C’s already impressive combination of performance and efficiency. For a pilot looking to enter Mooney ownership, N9495V offers an appealing balance: classic Mooney handling and efficiency, a simple and proven normally aspirated Lycoming, and avionics that provide genuine cross-country and IFR utility. It retains the character that makes an early M20C special while incorporating the equipment that makes it useful in today’s flying environment. Contact Pat Jamison for further details!
