Didn't the Quonset Air Museum have a Hellcat when the museum closed.? If so where is it now?

Apparently they had 1 and 3/4 Hellcats; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_Air_Museum#Formerly_on_display

At least the one seems to have gone back to USN Museum control.

The registry says that the Quonset Hellcat was under restoration to airworthy. Surely that was a typo considering the aircraft was on loan from the Navy? If it cannot go somewhere that it can be made flyable then I too would love to see it end up at Pima.
