Found this in my junk box - Black Panther.

Can anyone tell me anything about it? I haven't a clue.

Perhaps a marine motor?

It is a tether car engine. The flywheel is housed inside the large hub on the front. I might be wrong but I don't think the venturi is original. It would really be something if you could find the exhaust stacks. At any rate a fairly rare and expensive engine.

Better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

Yes it's a Black Panther, Venturi is not origional, Extremly rare motor,I'm not sure of production numbers but the engine was not made that long. Have heard of one NIB going for $1000.00

Thanks for the help guys.

This will go on eBay since we really don't plan on including marine or race car engines in the museum display.
