A Rolls Royce Merlin II engine has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

Serial #1019. I purchased from a gentleman that bought it as a complete and running engine in 1946. It is being sold as is with no guarantee. It is an amazingly beautiful historical artifact on it’s original shipping cradle. There is a steel shipping container measuring 54” high, 36” wide and 90” long. It weighs approximately 2000 pounds… This is one of the earliest intact Merlin engine that survived the war. A great addition to someones collection.

A Packard Rolls Royce V-1650-1 Merlin engine has hit the market. The listing states (in part):

I was told when I purchased this engine years ago that it had been removed from a P-40F Fighter in US Army Air Corps service for Scheduled Overhaul. I do not have any logbooks or other documentation. This Engine will need to be overhauled before being put back into service in an aircraft. No known or visible damage, no corrosion to speak of. Please look at pictures carefully. This engine is a wonderfully preserved time capsule. Complete as removed. This is not a hollow display engine.

The engine is located in Suwanee, Georgia and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.

Packard-Built Merlin Parts Engine Offered For Sale

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A Packard-built Rolls Royce Merlin Model V1650-7 is being offered as a parts engine.

The powerplant S/N V-332734 was reportedly acquired around 2000 from the New England Air Museum and likely came from the Air National Guard at Bradley Field in Windsor Locks, CT. It reportedly spent significant time in poor storage conditions and is described as “used” and “incomplete.”

Heads are missing as is most of the intake system within the V. Carburetor and Magnetos are also missing as are some external engine accessories which can be noted from the pictures, Cylinders are very rusty as engine was poorly stored with the heads off. The engine does not turn. The left cylinder bank was unbolted and lifted up about 0.75″ from the crankcase. Right cylinder bank is still directly on the crankcase. Accelerator linkage bolted to supercharger casting at rear of engine is very rusty and frozen.

The engine is located in Higganum, Connecticut and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
