The Beechcraft 35 in brief

The Beechcraft 35 is the V-tail Bonanza, from the early straight 35 through the S35, V35, V35A and V35B: a retractable single with a Continental six-cylinder engine.

It has a long production run and a loyal following, and many examples have been modernized with new panels and engines over the years.

87 Beechcraft 35 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 1947–1983.

The middle half were built 1961–1972.

How the Beechcraft 35 performs

The V-tail Bonanza is fast and light on the controls, and roomy for a single. Later variants carry more powerful engines and higher weights than the early ones.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 148 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 480 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 5 passengers.

Buying a Beechcraft 35

Condition, engine time and upgrades vary widely across V-tails, and those set what one asks more than its year.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $105,000–$219,000, around a median of $149,900, from 57 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 3,862–6,988 hours, from 69 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • The ruddervator airworthiness directives: inspections, balance and the condition of the tail structure.
  • Whether the tail carries the reinforcement cuffs and any related service history.
  • Engine time since overhaul and the shop that did it.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
