Sounds pretty unlikely. Al Mooney designed everything "all of a piece" and
moving retracts forward in one would be a nightmare. It's not a Cherokee!
He did design plenty of taildraggers, though, And retractable ones. all the
way back to the Alexander Bullet.
Maybe someone with a strong engineering bent modified one but it would have
been unbelievably time consuming.

The owner reported that it took him 300 hours to do the conversion. I
believe he lives in Napa. He may have taken the picture off his
website but it was a hot topic on the Mooney list. The owner later
sold the plane, I'm not sure who owns it now.
