FG-1D Marine's Dream

The FG-1D Corsair named "Marine's Dream" has a history that is a little unclear to me.

Here is what I know about it...
Model: Vought-Goodyear FG-1D Corsair
S/N: 92433 USN
C/N: 3694
C/R: NX773RD
Owner: Ray, Dieckman
Codes: "Marine's Dream"
History: FG-1D (1944) 92433 USN, N3771A, N733RD

I have seen some references that indicate it was "destroyed in a hanger fire" then later "sold". Huh? Was it destroyed or damaged, and to what extant? How was it "restored"? Can anyone provide some insight?

Regards,

Mike
