Hi Jim,
P-51-B-5-NA s/n 43-6822(N5528N) was flown by Joe DeBona (and sponsored by Jimmy Stewart) to victory in the 1949 Bendix. Either in 1953 or shortly thereafter, N5528N developed engine problems during a ferry flight. The pilot bailed out and the plane was destroyed. Sorry, don't have a location for you.
Best wishes,
Dan
