We are selling a Continental A-40 from my father-in-law's estate. Serial number 341. We do know it is not an A-40-5, as it only has provisions for a single magneto and one spark plug per cylinder. Engine time and cycles are unknown. No log books are available. It is mostly complete. The magneto is missing, but otherwise, it appears to be complete.

We believe it was originally installed on a Taylor Cub, as my father-in-law mentioned a few times over the years that the engine and a Flottorp 6628C-27 wooden propeller he owned had come from a Cub.

We're asking $1,000.oo US or best offer. The engine is currently located in north Georgia USA. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and expenses. We can have the engine prepped for shipping (oil drained and engine strapped to a pallet). The property where it is located does have a loading dock, so we should be able to get it loaded on a truck.

If interested, please send me a personal message. The engine is also listed in the Marketplace on the EAA Forums.
