I appears to have been rebuilt in Experimental Category to allow modifications. I noted a modern panel, doors on both sides, what appears to be a baggage compartment door on the left side, and a custom Mattituck TMX 360 version of the Lycoming 180 hp engine.  It also has drooped wing tips of modern design.  Everything one needs to go for a $200 hamburger!
