Markings on nose suggest that it is a Superstar 700 conversion. But from a local correspondent - This plane was destroyed up in Minnesota or Wisconsin in 2008 approx. Despite the markings, when I viewed it in 2006 at the San Bernardino Airport, it was not in fact a Superstar despite the placard. The props are the round tipped longer blades, not the "clipped and twisted" square tip blades required for a Superstar 700. The manifold pressure gauge markings on the panel showed it to be a fake - the MP limit redline was 29.5" MP, not the 41-42 inches per the Superstar mod!
