So if I am reading that correctly, in late 1971 with 1500 hours, the gear collapsed because of running off into the grass/mud/dirt, whatever.  40 years later, it is still flys. Time to do some due dilligence

Dave has it absolutely correct.  Any damage noted in the NTSB file needs to match to repairs documented in the log books AND with 337s filed in OKC.  I know of a situation where the FAA had on file a 337 for a repair done long ago that was never entered into the airframe log and a 337 contained in the airframe log that was never sent in to the FAA.  Go figure.

This plane has a 30 hour new engine and Prop, inoperative auto pilot, 47 year old paint, average interior, and dated radios. No GPS.  I will get a full rundown on Monday. Don't yet know why the brand new engine.
