This is 44-73216, N6302T when owned by Stan Shaw Aircraft Sales of Saratoga, CA. I was sent a photo of this plane by another owner, Joe Garrett some years ago, and it was white and metallic blue if I remember correctly. It crashed fatally in 1971 when the then owner (a salesman?) took a prospective buyer for a demonstration flight, and the engine seized on take-off. The plane then stalled, and spun in killing both occupants. The paperwork was later used by Jerry Miles for use on 44-73423 N5465V! T J Johansen
