It was sold years ago(how many??) to a rancher in Santa Fe, I spied it around 01-02 stopping in the airport to jpeg the Connie there. I don't know if its still there or not?

Sorry Fellas
That is definitely NOT a Barkley Grow due to the fact that the a/c in the pic has retractable landing gear and the Barkley had fixed gear only.
The a/c in the first post is a Beech 18 or C 45
Other posts are correct , there are two known Barkley Grow a/c .
Both are in Canada. My dad use to work on them.

Looking more at the first pic and reading the posts, if the engines are indeed Jacobs, that would explain the cowlings.
I am pretty sure you will find that the cowlings are from a T-50 Bobcat which was Jacobs powered.
It makes one wonder why they would re-engine a Beech with Jacobs when there are plenty of Pratt & Whitney engines around

I must apologize again the pic by Gary would not come up due to security reasons at my work.
I was making my statements based on the pic submitted by Bluedharma.
Sorry for the mix up
