Missing MU car

Today's "mystery car" is one of the many Lackawanna MU cars that have found their way into preservation. In this case, I'm wondering about car 4308 (Pullman, 1920) which was last seen at the Michigan Air-Line Railway in Walled Lake, MI northwest of Detroit in 2010. Supposedly the car was sold around that time via Ozark Mountain but I have been unable to figure out who bought it or where it went. As always, information is much appreciated.

12/6/2023 UPDATE: This website has a roster of Michigan Air-Line that says car 4308 was never used in service, but rather was a parts source, and was scrapped in 2010. Since that fits with the (scant) information I've been able to dig up, I'm going to say this mystery is solved and the car has been scrapped.
