Description
Six-seat, turbocharged, and genuinely built to haul, N950SR is a lot of capable airplane for the money. This 1979 Cessna T210N Turbo Centurion pairs a factory-new Continental engine with a 1,427-pound useful load, onboard weather radar, and a full de-ice system — the practical, load-hauling cross-country capability the 210 is famous for, without the acquisition or operating cost of a twin. Here’s what really sets this one apart: N950SR pairs onboard weather radar (Bendix/King RDR 2000) with a full de-ice system — boots and a hot prop. Radar plus de-ice is a genuinely uncommon combination on a 210, giving you the tools to see the weather ahead and shed ice from the airframe and prop. To be clear and accurate: this is a full de-ice system — boots and hot prop, no windshield heat — and it is not certified for flight into known icing (FIKI). Under the cowl is a factory-new Continental TSIO-520-R — a genuine new engine, not an overhaul — with just 467 hours since new. At the December 2025 annual, roughly 150 hours ago, all six cylinders were removed and re-honed, so the top end is fresh. The three-blade Q-tip propeller is equally low-time at 467 hours since prop overhaul, and the turbocharger keeps it pulling up high for a real-world 170-knot cruise in the mid-teens. The panel is a capable, IFR-ready suite: a Garmin GNS 530W WAAS navigator, GTX 345 with ADS-B In and Out, TAS 610 active traffic, the RDR 2000 radar, and a KFC 200 autopilot with flight director. The ADS-B mandate is handled and the airframe is sorted, which makes N950SR an ideal foundation for a buyer who wants to build a modern Garmin glass panel exactly the way they want it. We’ll be straight about the one honest trade-off: at 6,247 hours, the airframe time is above the model average. That’s exactly why it’s priced where it is — and it’s more than balanced by the factory-new engine, the freshly re-honed cylinders, the 1,427-pound useful load, the radar-and-de-ice weather capability, and clean, complete logbooks. Based at 9K8 (Kingman, KS).
