The 70-year-old antique airplane veered off the runway and nosed over when the left landing gear forward attach point failed on touchdown. The airplane nosed over when it encountered the soft sand next to the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer. The owner pilot reported that the gear's forward attach point that is located under a fairing appeared to have failed on touchdown. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the failure point, but was unable to determine the mode of failure.
Probable Cause: the failure of the forward left main landing gear attach point resulting in loss of control.
