    Description
    This 36 Bonanza represents the pinnacle of boutique restoration. Over two years, it was deconstructed, renewed, enhanced, and refined with obsessive attention to detail. It blends legendary Bonanza heritage with modern avionics, factory-new engine performance, structural upgrades, and a handcrafted Italian leather interior engineered to surpass factory-new condition. Model: Beechcraft 36 Bonanza Registration: Buyer may choose ANY registration Serial Number: E-118 Airframe Time: 5,685.1 hours Useful Load: 1550 lbs Cruise Speed: 172 KTAS (Knots2U Speed Kit) Engine: Factory-new IO-520 (2008) Cylinders: 230 hours since new Compressions: Mid-high 70s CHTs: 330-350 F cruise, =380 F climb Prop and Governor: Zero-time 2025 Structural STCs: Wing Spar, Extended Luggage Performance STCs: Knots2U Speed Kit Included: Dual yoke, global delivery, 5h transition training, extensive spare parts package, full aircraft covers Price: 550,000 USD - all major currencies accepted Airframe, Structure and Systems The airframe underwent a deep restoration: fully disassembled, inspected, renewed, and reassembled with new or re-chromed hardware. Its finish is protected by a high gloss clear coat applied to concours standards. The Wing Spar STC enhances structural integrity, while the Extended Luggage STC increases utility and mission flexibility. All high pressure hoses, braking components, and wear items were renewed. Most impressively, the entire aircraft was rewired from nose to tail, an exceptionally rare undertaking that delivers unmatched reliability and long term electrical stability. Landing Gear, Flaps and Controls The landing gear, among the most intricate systems on the Bonanza, was restored to near zero-time condition. The motor and gearbox were overhauled, linkages renewed, shimmy damper rebuilt, and the indication system replaced and rigged with precision. Flaps and controls received equal attention: rebuilt actuators, renewed flex shafts, restored cables and pulleys. Operational feel is crisp, smooth, and confidence inspiring, reminiscent of a factory fresh machine. Garmin Glass Cockpit This aircraft features a modern Garmin flight deck that transforms the flying experience. The Garmin G3X Touch display offers clarity, synthetic vision, engine monitoring, and situational awareness in an intuitive format. The Garmin G5 provides independent redundancy, while the GFC 500 autopilot with envelope protection delivers smooth, precise control. Navigation with the GTN 650Xi is fast and fluid. ADS-B traffic and weather via the GTX345, plus wireless flight plan transfer and database updates with FlightStream 510, make preflight and enroute operations seamless. Inflight Internet adds a layer of connected convenience uncommon in this class. Every switch, panel piece, breaker, and wiring harness is new. This is truly a reborn cockpit. Cabin and Interior - Italian Leather Collection The cabin evokes the atmosphere of a refined touring automobile rather than a traditional light aircraft. Hand stitched Italian leather seats provide luxurious tactile feel and long range comfort. Diamond stitching adds depth and visual elegance, complemented by matching sidewalls, carpets, and headliner. Chrome finished hardware, leather wrapped armrests, and precision finished plastics complete the upscale environment. Enhanced insulation reduces noise, transforming the cabin into a calm, premium travel space.
