From the information i have found that is basicly
a data plate restoration. That is to say little
if nothing remains of the original except the manufacturers
data plate. Little remained of the original that was good for
more than making patterns.

It was purchased by a flying museum in the US.
Twins do rather poorly at Reno. Even the F7F Tigercat
can't compete, although one is at Reno more often than not.
In all performance parameters a Tigercat is a faster aircraft.
By the way,coincidentally the owners of the racing F7F Tigercat, Lewis Legends
aka Lewis air racing is rumored to have purchased it for an undisclosed price.
