Do you remember any nose art or any other details?
The only one I can find right now is the Martha Jean out of Tulsa, and I am somewhat sure it is not it.

Good luck

Would that be the one Buster Colvin owned?

For what it's worth, as per B-25 Mitchell in Civil Service, Colvin Aircraft owned 44-29127, registered as N9899C. It was sold by Jr. Burchinal to this company at Big Cabin, OK sometime in the 1980s. Ownership was disputed, and the airplane went to C&P Aviation at Anoka, MN, in 1995. However, the owner of record with the FAA remains Colvin Aircraft. Big Cabin is located about 10 miles south of Vinta, so my guess would be this is the airplane in question. The book has a photo of the forward fuselage as stored at Anoka, circa 1995.

I helped the buyer retrieve the pieces from Oklahoma in 1995 October. just saw the tail section this past week as he is moving it all from the Anoka airport to the airpark 10 miles north. My section was the Nose, propped up on a mattress and strapped in.
