Today’s Top Pick is a 1984 Piper PA-31P-350 Mojave.

For pilots looking to graduate from light twins or seeking a step up into pressurized flight, this 1984 Piper Mojave presents a rare and compelling opportunity. Produced in limited numbers as a final evolution of the Navajo line, the Mojave is often described as the best of both worlds.

It combines the rugged, proven airframe and dual-entry door of the PA-31-350 Chieftain with the pressurized fuselage and systems architecture of the turboprop PA-31T Cheyenne. This creates a high-altitude platform that provides turbine-level comfort without the steep acquisition and maintenance costs associated with moving into a turboprop.

This Mojave is powered by two Lycoming TIO-540-V2AD engines that offer reliable performance for long-range missions. The left engine has 1,025 hours since a factory remanufacture, while the right engine has 1,775 hours since a major overhaul. Both propellers were overhauled 1,025 hours ago, matching the left engine’s timeline.

The turbocharged configuration allows for high-altitude cruising above most weather, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for the seven passengers it can carry. The aircraft is also FIKI-certified (flight into known icing) and features a pilot’s heated windshield, making it a legitimate all-weather, cross-country machine for serious owner-pilots.

The cockpit is well-equipped for serious travel in the modern National Airspace System. The panel features a Garmin GNS 430W WAAS GPS/nav/comm and a Bendix/King KFC 250 autopilot with flight director to help reduce pilot workload during long flights. For enhanced situational awareness, the aircraft is equipped with Bendix/King KWX-56 color weather radar and an L3 WX-900 Stormscope. A Garmin GTX-335 transponder provides ADS-B Out compliance, while a PS Engineering PMA8000B audio panel manages the communications.

While the current interior features the original 1984 blue velour, the seller is offering a unique incentive for the next owner. The list price includes new paint and interior of the buyer’s choice, allowing you to modernize this legendary twin to your exact aesthetic specifications and enter ownership with a like-new cabin experience.

Listed at $350,000, this 1984 Piper Mojave is a value-rich alternative to more expensive pressurized twins, offering true cabin-class luxury at a piston price point.
