Today’s Top Pick is a 1967 Beechcraft V35 Bonanza.
The Beechcraft Bonanza is widely regarded as the gold standard of high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft, and the V35 remains the most iconic iteration of the lineage.
Known for its distinctive V-tail design, the V35 combines aerodynamic efficiency with a cabin that offers more comfort and style than many of its contemporaries. This particular 1967 model represents a rare opportunity to own a legendary airframe that has been thoughtfully updated to remain relevant in today’s demanding IFR environment.
This machine is powered by the Continental IO-520-BA2B engine, a 285 hp powerplant that provides the muscle for the Bonanza’s famous cruise speeds. With 1,586 hours since major overhaul (SMOH), the engine is paired with a three-blade McCauley propeller that has only 458 hours since its last overhaul. To help the pilot keep a close eye on the health of the six cylinders, the cockpit is equipped with an Insight engine monitor and a digital tachometer.
The airframe, with 5,317 total hours, has been meticulously cared for, evidenced by a fresh annual inspection completed in December 2025. This maintenance cycle also included the installation of a new nosewheel and new Gill-G35 battery, ensuring the aircraft is mechanically ready for its next owner. Crucially, the aircraft comes with a full log history, providing the transparency that serious buyers demand when evaluating a classic airframe.

Inside, the vintage 1960s aesthetic has been augmented with a modern digital backbone. The avionics stack is anchored by a Garmin GTN 750 touchscreen GPS/nav/comm, which brings high-resolution mapping and intuitive flight planning to the panel. This is supported by a Bendix King KX 170B and an Appareo Stratus ES transponder providing ADS-B In and Out for full situational awareness. While it retains its original autopilot, the inclusion of an Artex 1000 ELT ensures that safety standards are up to date.
Listed at $79,000, this 1967 Beechcraft V35 Bonanza is an accessible entry point into the world of high-performance, cross-country flying.
