1979 Cessna T210N Turbo Centurion – N950SR

Price: $275,000

Video Walkaround

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is the Cessna T210N Turbo Centurion?

N950SR cruises at about 170 KTAS. The turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-R holds its power up high, so you keep that cruise into the mid-teens where the air is smoother and the winds often work in your favor.

Does N950SR have weather radar and de-ice?

Yes. N950SR carries a Bendix/King RDR 2000 onboard weather radar and a full de-ice system — boots and a hot prop — which is an uncommon combination on a 210. Note that the de-ice system does not include windshield heat, and the airplane is not certified for flight into known icing (FIKI).

What is the useful load, and how much can it carry?

N950SR has a useful load of 1,427 pounds — a genuine six-seat cabin with room for people, bags, and real fuel. The 210 is one of the best haulers in its class.

How much time is on the engine?

N950SR has a factory-new Continental TSIO-520-R — a new engine, not an overhaul — with 467 hours since new. At the December 2025 annual, about 150 hours ago, all six cylinders were removed and re-honed.

Is this a good airplane for a panel upgrade?

Yes. ADS-B Out is already installed and the airframe is sorted, making it an excellent, cost-effective platform on which to build a custom Garmin glass panel exactly the way you want it.

N950SR is based at 9K8 (Kingman, Kansas). Contact Texas Top Aviation at (512) 270-1298 to arrange a viewing.
