1975 Beechcraft Model 58
Well-kept, professionally maintained Baron 58 with excellent pedigree. The airframe is clean and straight, operated by attentive ownership, and presents well inside and out. All systems are in reliable working order, making N47GA a solid, honest example of the 58 series.
Structurally, the aircraft benefits from a factory-installed G58 wing spar upgrade—the later-production dual-spar and carry-through configuration used on the G58, rather than the earlier 58 spar arrangement that requires the historic carry-through inspection and reinforcement program. That is a meaningful airframe distinction for buyers comparing classic 58s.
A major recent upgrade includes brand-new Hartzell 3-blade alcohol-anti-ice scimitar propellers (Top Prop conversion). The swept scimitar blades are quieter and smoother than legacy two- or three-blade McCauleys, improve takeoff and climb, add ground clearance to reduce FOD and tip erosion, and carry a 2,400-hour / 6-year TBO. Alcohol anti-ice keeps the blades in the known-ice conversation without relying on electric boots.
Engine instrumentation has been brought current with an Electronics International CGR-30 Combo. This STC’d/TSO’d primary replacement package (CGR-30P plus CGR-30C, fed by an EDC-33 converter) drops into the existing 3-1/8" tach and manifold-pressure holes and consolidates RPM, manifold pressure, EGT/CHT, fuel quantity, oil pressure and temperature, volts, amps, OAT, and fuel flow into color digital displays with flight-data recording and USB download.
N47GA is also equipped with a new Garmin GFC 600 digital autopilot—the aftermarket standard for later Barons. It is an attitude-based AFCS with altitude preselect, indicated-airspeed hold, coupled approaches, Level mode, underspeed and overspeed protection, and Electronic Stability and Protection. Workload drops and the safety envelope is modern, not 1980s analog.
Overall, N47GA stands out as a clean, well-maintained Baron with meaningful recent investments in structure, propulsion, engine monitoring, and flight control—ready for its next owner.
