The T-6 that was modified into a Boomerang, I believe, is now owned by Eliot Cross (Stallion 51 pilot) from Florida. Whilst not an original, it would be a great plane, as you can take a passenger along for a ride. If I recall right, the aircraft actually has some original Boomerang bits in her.

Cheers,
