C-53 saved!

The rare C-53 that sat out at Richmond, Indiana semi derelict has been rescued by a California based group.
The aircraft is s/n 11757 and I believe this is C-53 42-68830, built at Santa Monica July 11, 1943 and converted to airliner status for PCA in November 1945. The registration has always been N45366 and the Riverside California Wing of the CAF recieved the aircraft 2 days ago after a ferry flight. It will be restored as time and funds permit.
