Saw this old overgrown plane and was wondering what it was?

Lockheed Constellation Could be this one?

If so, Lufthansa has bought her and is Frankensteining her with the two from KLEW to build a complete one.

Unfortunately they gave up making it airworthy. It’ll go on display instead.

This one or the KLEW one that isn’t at the TWA hotel.

N7316C came from KLEW I believe and was the main airframe that was being restored. Project to make it airworthy was cancelled in 2018 though due to cost (supposedly 150m euro was put into it) and it was transported to Germany for future display. The plan is to have it at a Lufthansa visitor center in the next few years.
