Hey at least the owner paid good money for all those aircraft canopy and prop covers! That's over a $1000 worth of merch right there!

The pics from 2007 show a Magellan 5000 GPS at the top of the stack. Its obviously been removed (no great loss), but that means you should have plenty of room to add a panel mount GPS down the road, if needed. Or lose the Collins nav coms and drop in a GTN750.

EDIT: I just noticed no autopilot installed. That will help your useful load, but hurts resale value. I'd be leary of putting too much $$$ in the panel, when the engines are high-time, and there's not an autopilot. The pool of potential buyers starts to become limited. If you plan to stay VFR, I'd probably fly it exactly as-is, and use a good portable ADS-B In solution along with a quality tablet EFB like Foreflight, Wing-X, Pilot, or Avare (for the cheapos amongst us - its 100% free).

I flew a Cessna 150J all over the continental US with a flybuddy GPS (bearing, distance & groundspeed only) and an KX170B. I shot ILS and VOR approaches with ease. I filed IFR most of the time just for the experience, and this was with no moving map (except the paper one in my lap thats trying to blow out the window - LOL). So you should be golden with a good tablet based GPS.
