I see it says Roll Royce, but exactly what kind of engine is that? The paint is awesome!

Rolls Royce Merlin. Engine out of a Spitfire fighter plane from WWII. I think early P-51s had them too, before they switched to Allisons in the D model (?) hence it being in this P-51 replicar. They were also the engine of choice for Unlimited Hydroplanes before the advent of helicopter turbines. Damn cool all the way around!!

Ended early at $150,300.00 Reserve not met.
Anybody know who acquired it?

150 K is will probably cover the motor costs!! Incredible car. Like Charley sais, probably went to a Leno type guy.

Another weak moment?

Charlie, please tell us that you now have this car. Just seeing it at next year's reunion would be an experience nobody would ever forget.
