The model designation didn’t change from the previous model, but nevertheless, the 1972 edition of the V35B is considered a model change. The interior underwent a major redesign which was so extensive that many structural changes had to be made in the cabin – particularly the roof – to accommodate the all new interior. The 1972 V35B Bonanza features a more durable interior with an improved overhead ventilation system and more head room. Cabin chairs and the instrument panel were also restyled. It can also be distinguished from earlier V35Bs by its new paint design. Empty weight is up slightly over that of the 1971 V35B, otherwise performance is unchanged.

Serials of 1972 V35B production start with D-9287. The price was initially $41,600.
