1960 Beechcraft M35 BonanzaSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1960 Beechcraft M35 Bonanza (N9717R, serial D-6395) presents a well-maintained example with 6,200 total airframe hours and a strong maintenance history. The aircraft is powered by a 260HP IO-470 engine with 1,275 hours since major overhaul (1,700-hour TBO), which underwent a thorough tear-down 500 hours ago due to a cracked case—all bearings and seals were replaced at that time. The avionics suite features a fresh IFR-certified Garmin 430W, STEC 50 autopilot, KT74 transponder with ADS-B Out, and an EI engine monitor, complemented by a MAC 1700 audio panel and NAAV indicators with glideslope.

The airframe boasts no damage history and includes complete logs, along with practical upgrades like a one-piece windshield, heated pitot, and a 936 lb useful load. The exterior sports decent paint, while the interior is described as nice, reflecting the care given by its current owner. With 64 gallons of fuel capacity and a well-documented maintenance background, this M35 Bonanza is positioned as a reliable IFR-capable aircraft. Additional modifications and the seller's emphasis on its loved condition suggest a turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking a classic V-tail with modern avionics.
