Mines has it. Speed Slope. Not sure when it was done, but I think early nineties. Must go through the old logs.
I toyed with the idea of tips for a long time then decided my max time between stops is three hours, so I still have plenty of range. I have the 90 USG, so I spent money on other things, like new ruddervators 
They are a labour of love, and expensive, but every time I walk up to it on the ramp I think what a great looking plane. And its mine!
Appreciate everyone does that to their plane, but these things are iconic. I even had one as a small child, the metal V tail.
i could not agree more (those ugly silencers are gone now!)

Everyones doing it so……
BeechBaby it looks to be in excellent condition
May I ask what a Speed Slope is? New windscreen?
Robert, thanks, I try my very best but it is bit by bit.
The Speed Slope windshield is an upgrade the earlier models can benefit from. The original was a centre metal spar in the middle of the screen. Debate if it makes it go faster, some say 3kts, but argueably it looks way better. Easier panel access also after fitting. It is a D’Shannon STC
ok ok here is it
and there‘s one more thing…..
…. the sound.
All Bonanza are awesome 
Nice starts to become a mini euro beechtalk ….
I think looking at your windshield Beechbaby its still the original frame with the more steeper windshield as I had previously, so this is not a speed slope which can be found from 1969 models and beyond. The installation is an STC requiring a new glare shield defroster etc…Basically its a frame less install and quite tricky as you need to drill 70 something oversized holes in the plexi and make them align with existing air-frame holes. The whole thing is then glued in with a metal strip in front. I have an extra thick windshield offering better bird strike protection and more silent cockpit…I hesitated to recover the frame and order the same steep windshield as its a classic but decide not too…Of course this is only noticed by beech experts
I was really holding off posting a picture and getting into a Beech discussion, but when it starts…..
Euro flyer, yes that sound. Generally missed by us owners given we are inside…
Bonanza are awesome…did I say that already today:-))?
