This is a 235 hp Wright R760-8 engine which is a part of Dan Murray’s estate.  Dan was well known in the vintage aviation community as a meticulous craftsman and antique aircraft restorer who had begun to overhaul this engine before he was tragically killed last March.  The crankshaft was checked for run out, and both it & the master/link rod assembly have been cleaned and magnaflux inspected. The carburetor, magnetos, and oil pump are overhauled.  All the other parts have been solvent washed and are ready for inspection and overhaul.

The engine is packaged in a wooden crate and is ready for shipment.  We can offer the successful high bidder our shipping discount (87% off list).  If you have questions call Caleb at 405-433-2263.  See our other listings for more vintage aircraft engines and parts.  Thanks for looking!


Spyker C12 Zagato

Thu, 08 Mar 2007

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 08 March 2007 09:53 Add Italian design, German power and Dutch craziness, and you get this One look at the Spyker C12 Zagato and you know why they call the Dutch crazy. This limited edition run of 24 cars was built to celebrate Spyker’s entry into Formula One, and the company roped in its F1 driver Adrian Sutil to pulls the wraps off the Zagato.

Mazda MX-5 Kuro Special Editions

Thu, 28 Jun 2012

Mazda has released yet another special edition MX-5 for the UK market in the guise of the Mazda MX-5 Kuro.  Yes, it’s yet another special edition MX-5, this time the Mazda MX-5 Kuro which comes as either a 1.8 litre soft top or a 2.0 litre Roadster Coupe. It seems the Japanese like the idea of ‘Black’ Special Edition cars as much as we do in the West (Kuro means black in Japanese), with the last ‘Kuro’ special being the Nissan Juke Kuro. But oddly Mazda are offering the MX-5 Kuro not just in black but also in Velocity Red Mica and Crystal White Pearlescent, with the ‘Kuro’ bits referring to the Brilliant Black roof, door mirrors and dark gunmetal 17″ alloys.

Cash for clunkers plan revives trade fight

Thu, 05 Feb 2009

Import brand automakers and dealers warned on Thursday that a vehicle scrappage proposal before the Senate would violate trade agreements and could weaken the economy. The Senate could vote on the plan on Thursday, which would offer $10,000 to any moderate- or low-income consumer who trades in a car or truck that is at least 10 years old and buys a new one that is more fuel-efficient and "assembled in the United States." The trade-ins would be scrapped rather than resold. The U.S.-made mandate "smacks of the protectionism that led to the Great Depression," said Barbara Nocera, the top Washington lobbyist for Mazda North American Operations.
