Hey Gary,
A mate of mine has just come back from the states & has photos of a D or E model (omnivision) that's been parked in a hangar for a number of years that he says the owner would take $2500 for. Urban legend???? dunno. I'm sure that as an A&P you'd know where to look for the expensive airframe issues. There's also a heap of other aircraft there like Bonanzas etc. I'll try to get more info if you're interested.
