Nothing weird about these designs - there are 3 or 4 different turboprop conversions/versions of the Bonanza (not V-tail though) out there today. The 5 seat executive looks like a Super Pinto but in no way is any part of it from a Super Pinto/TT-1. The idea was ahead of its time - VLJ designs of today such as the Eclipse, Citation Mustang, etc. are of the same size/class. Plenty of others of the same class that were prototyped but did not make it to production.
