History

 

The 1962 Model P35 Bonanza with a  Continental IO-470N 260 hp had a completely redesigned instrument panel featuring avionics mounted to the right of center panel, new subpanels and all flight instruments were shock-mounted in a separate, hinged panel in front of the pilot. 467 Model P35 were built. Price: $27,650.

 

Distinguishing Features and Equipment

 

On the used market, the P35 is one of the best values partly due to the newly designed instrument panel. Instruments were placed in a new ‘T' layout, and the old ‘piano key' electrical switches were replaced with new ‘toggle' type switches.

The P-model saw a higher landing gear extension speed, up from 140 to 165 MPH which made the P-model a large step forward.
