Description

1975 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza Registration: N46LE Asking Price: $289,900 Contact: Austin Kepley Here is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously upgraded 1975 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza that flies and equips like a modern aircraft. N46LE has been thoughtfully transformed with a full glass-panel avionics suite, factory-remanufactured engine, and fresh cosmetics - all at a fraction of the cost of a newer airframe. With a new Garmin GFC-600 autopilot, GTN-750 touchscreen navigator, and dual G5 EFIS displays, this Bonanza is a legitimate IFR cross-country machine ready for immediate use. Pre-buy inspection and demo flights are welcomed.

Fresh paint completed in 2019 - excellent condition. Front Gear Collapse in 1980's. Logbooks available for inspection Why This Bonanza? The A36 is widely considered the gold standard of piston singles - with club seating for up to six, a large cabin door, and exceptional useful load. N46LE takes that legendary platform and modernizes it with the kind of avionics package most pilots only dream about: a GFC-600 autopilot, WAAS IFR GPS navigation, and full ADS-B compliance. The factory-remanufactured IO-520 with only 1,400 SMOH means years of reliable service ahead. Pre-buy inspections and demo flights are welcome and encouraged. Only reason for selling is we have outgrown the plane and don't travel enough to justify ownership anymore. All information believed accurate but not warranted. Buyer responsible for independent verification of all details.
