About this aircraft

$143,500 · FOR SALE · 1957 H35 V-tail Bonanza. Exceptional, extensively restored aircraft with a truly modern panel: dual Garmin G5s, GFC 500 digital autopilot and GTN 650 WAAS/IFR. Over $180K invested in restoration and upgrades. Strong, even compressions, all 74/80 or better. Interior 10+, exterior 9.5+. Outstanding long-distance airplane that shows as well as it is equipped. Includes rare original Bonanza/Baron factory jack. Selling only because at my age I no longer make the long trips I once did.

No damage history reportedNone reported

This listing reports no prior damage. That is a positive sign, but the flag reflects the seller’s description, not the logbooks — confirm it during a pre-buy. Undocumented or unrepaired damage is a classic red flag, so have an independent inspector review the airframe and engine records before you commit.

Cost to own

Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$1,953/mo$23,435/yr

≈ $234 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$143,500 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,435 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$143,500	$1,953/mo	$23,435/yr
1/2 share	$71,750	$1,477/mo	$17,718/yr
1/3 share	$47,833	$1,318/mo	$15,812/yr
1/4 share	$35,875	$1,238/mo	$14,859/yr

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
