That Merlin would probably bring $50,000 today, even in pieces, from 
aircraft restorers - to say nothing of the odd pieces you got with the 
front end of the Spit. My late wife's first husband flew Merlin-powered 
Mustangs in WW II and shot down seven Germans. Later honchoed Cavalier 
Aircraft in Sarasota that re-worked Mustangs.  He sold his P-51 to an 
Italian industrialist for $50,000 in 1970. They are now worth $5 million.
