Merlin engine

"Therefore, we do not have any set price... we are asking for ** CASH OFFERS ** from capable, knowledgable Buyers."

What do you suppose "capable" is defined as?

What they mean is, "capable" guesser....whoever guesses the price in my head is the person that will get the engine.

I'm sure you right about this. It's an early Merlin and many changes were made during the war which boosted the horse power to over 2000. This engine probably would not excite many who deal in WW2 fighters. I'll bet they know exactly what its worth and are trolling for a rube.
 
I'll bet it is left over from Grandpa's hydroplane days.

Or drag racing. In the late 50s even into the early 70s they made neat exhibition machines with them using the twinning boxes from the center of a PT boat. Arfons brothers did the Green Monster series using 4 of them. They also stand up to nitromethane pretty well.

Seattle is not known as a drag racing area, but Hydroplanes, ? yes.
