Every day, the team at Aircraft For Sale chooses an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, a good deal, or has other qualities we find interesting. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1962 Beechcraft P35 Bonanza.
This example features a capable IFR setup and iconic vintage V-tail style. New owners will enjoy a low-time airframe that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is strong, along with a full suite of Garmin avionics ready to go the distance.
The Bonanza is based in Olivehurst, California, with 4,922 hours on the airframe. It is powered by a Continental IO-470-N24 engine delivering 260 hp, with just 957 hours since factory new. A Hartzell BHC-L2YF-1BF two-blade propeller has only 88 hours since overhaul and 1,549 total hours since new.

Avionics are where this P35 really shines. It features dual Garmin GTN-750XI and GTN-650XI units for GPS, comm, and nav, complemented by a G-500 PFD/MFD with synthetic vision. A full Garmin GI-275 package offers added redundancy and situational awareness. Integration is seamless thanks to a Flight Stream 510 module, enabling wireless connectivity.
The panel includes Garmin GMA-340 audio and a GTX-345 transponder with full ADS-B In and Out. Engine performance is tracked with an Insight GEM 602 graphic monitor and a Shadin Miniflo fuel flow computer. Additional enhancements include XM weather via a GDL-69 receiver, active traffic with a King KTA-870 TCAS, and a WX-500 Stormscope for real-time lightning detection.
Handling is enhanced by a Garmin G-500 autopilot with yaw damper and Smart Glide functionality. The aircraft is equipped for four-place travel with headsets included, featuring two Bose A20s, one Bose A30, and a David Clark ANC unit.
The white aircraft is painted with well preserved red-and-blue stripes on the outside, while red-and-blue fabric paired with blue leather seating on the inside offer comfort with a classic yet well maintained look.
The airplane is hangared, regularly flown, and has no known damage history. The annual was completed in July 2025, and it is ready for IFR operations and cross-country missions alike.
