In the world of personal aviation, few names carry the reverence of the Beechcraft Bonanza. It is an airframe that defined the personal travel category decades ago. It remains a benchmark for speed, handling, and elegance that others have tried to emulate but few have ever truly surpassed. With this 1984 Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza, we are not just presenting an aircraft. We are presenting a living classic that has been masterfully bridged into the modern era. Stationed at Brackett Field (KPOC), this Bonanza offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of legendary aviation heritage without sacrificing a single ounce of current day utility.
Why N6801T?
A classic is only as good as the stewardship it has received, and N6801T stands as a testament to meticulous care. With complete, continuous logs from day one, this aircraft offers the kind of transparency that serious buyers value. It captures the golden age feel of Beechcraft craftsmanship, yet it surprises you the moment you sit in the cockpit. The 2014 interior refurbishment, featuring custom Dove and Fun Silver leather and super soundproofing, respects the aircraft vintage while providing a serene, modern cabin environment that makes long distance travel feel effortless.
Key Highlights:
Timeless Performance, Modernized: At its heart lies the renowned Tornado Alley TN Conversion, paired with a Continental TNIO-550B-RA engine. With RAM Cam upgrades and TurboGAMIjectors, this aircraft delivers the classic Bonanza climb and cruise performance, optimized with 21st century reliability.
A No-Vacuum Glass Heritage: Experience the best of both worlds. The panel has been completely transformed into an all-electric, vacuum-free flight deck. Anchored by the Garmin G500 glass cockpit and dual GTN 750 (WAAS) navigators with Flightstream 510, you get the sophisticated situational awareness of a modern cruiser within the iconic lines of a classic airframe.
Comprehensive Safety and Redundancy: This Bonanza is equipped to handle the realities of modern airspace. Featuring the Garmin GTS 800 Active Traffic System, a B&C standby alternator, propeller de-ice, and a built-in CO2 sensor, it provides the peace of mind and operational security expected of a refined personal asset.
Whether you are a traditionalist who appreciates the history of the B36TC or a pilot looking for a high-performance cruiser that does not feel like a project, N6801T delivers a flying experience that is as enduring as it is enjoyable. High-resolution media folders and complete digital logbook scans are available upon request. We welcome private viewings and logbook reviews at our facility at Brackett Field.

Airframe
This 1984 Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza offers the ultimate combination of high-altitude performance, long range, and heavy-hauling capability. The airframe has 4,645 hours total time, has always been US-based and hangared, and comes with complete and continuous logbooks. The B36TC's longer Baron-style wing provides a substantial 102-gallon usable fuel capacity, making this a true cross-country machine. Boasting a max gross takeoff weight of 4,042 lbs and a basic empty weight of 2,657 lbs, this aircraft provides a very capable 1,385 lb useful load.
Engines / Mods / Prop
Powering this B36TC is a robust Continental TNIO-550B-RA engine, upgraded by RAM Aircraft in April 2013, currently sitting at 945 hours SMOH. This engine is equipped with the highly desirable Whirlwind III Tornado Alley turbo-normalized system (Ram II upgrade) featuring a larger intercooler and a Rammer II nose bowl inlet air scoop. Additional engine modifications include a RAM Cam, TurboGAMIjectors for finely tuned fuel delivery, and comprehensive TAT/GAMI engine baffling and louvered access panels. All engine hoses were replaced in July 2026, satisfying the TAT 10-year requirement.
The propeller is a sleek Hartzell Scimitar 3-blade (PHC-C3YF-1RF) featuring electric de-ice, freshly overhauled in April 2024 after accumulating some minor pebble nicks during a gravel taxiway operation. Coinciding with this cosmetic prop repair and overhaul, a meticulous IRAN engine inspection was performed by RAM Aircraft.
Interior / Exterior
Interior:
The cabin was custom designed and installed by Tim Hallock at Aviation Designs in January 2014, featuring premium luxury finishes. The seating is appointed in supple Dove and Fun Silver leather, complemented by matching side panels and Fun Silver window moldings. The headliner is finished in Colombia, contrasting beautifully with the Midnight Blue carpet. The yoke is handsomely wrapped in Dove leather. For maximum passenger comfort on long flights, the cabin is fitted with Super Soundproofing.
The exterior, repainted in 2008, is finished in a bright, clean white base, elegantly complemented by a classic multi-color striping scheme. The upper beltline features a prominent navy blue and red stripe pattern (navy, red, navy), while a sweeping metallic gold accent stripe contours along the lower fuselage and swoops gracefully up the vertical stabilizer. The aircraft proudly displays the iconic "Bonanza" emblem alongside the exclusive gold "Tornado Alley Turbo Whirlwind" medallion on the lower cowling. The paint presents with an excellent, high-gloss finish, reflecting the meticulous care and continuous hangar storage this aircraft has received.

Damage History Transparency:
The owner has fully documented the aircraft's history. Past events include a left-hand landing gear settling incident in December 1987. In July 2008, high winds on the ramp necessitated the replacement of the cabin door. Most recently in April 2024, taxiing on a gravel road caused a few pebbles to kick up, resulting in minor surface bumps and nicks on the propeller. Out of an abundance of caution, an IRAN (Inspect and Repair As Necessary) engine inspection was performed by RAM Aircraft incident to the prop repair and overhaul.
This B36TC represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully dialed-in, turbo-normalized cross-country platform with top-tier Garmin glass and a luxurious custom interior.
