The aircraft crashed during a ferry flight and the pilot could not recall the circumstances of the flight. Investigation revealed that the aircraft had been parked on the service ramp for nearly two years without being used. The last annual inspection was recorded on 9-1-81. The previous owner had ordered the aircraft restored to an airworthy condition but the aircraft was not found airworthy due to low oil pressure and metal in both engines. Also, the gear was not considered safe for retraction. The aircraft was subsequently sold to a new owner who sent an A&P/pilot to work on the aircraft. This pilot had worked for the new owner on previous occasions ferrying aircraft. The pilot worked on the aircraft for several days before departing for Chattanooga. Investigation revealed that the left engine was not developing power at the time of the accident. The throttle and prop levers were found in the closed position. An engine runup found both engines not airworthy due to oil pressure problems and metal in the screens.
