This Convair was used by NASA as a space shuttle crew escape System testbed - it was fitted with a CES (Crew Escape System) mockup on the left hand side of the rear fuselage. Stored since 1993 in California City, and preserved by 1997, reportedly by a set-up called the California Museum of Air and Space. Seen here basking in the low afternoon winter sun..
