Item Details
- Location: Madill, OK 73446
- Country: United States of America
- Lot #: P-0058591
Available for auction is a Russian Shvetsov ASh-62 9-cylinder, 1,000 horsepower radial aircraft engine, the authorized Russian-built copy of the Pratt & Whitney R-1820 Cyclone. The seller states this engine was previously housed at an aviation tech school in the Northeast and remains in used but running-capable condition. 
Complete with carburetor and magnetos, it was a known runner before being mounted on its current display cart. Originally developed in the late 1930s as an evolution of the licensed Shvetsov M-25, the ASh-62 featured enhancements such as a two-speed supercharger and improved induction system, elevating its output from 775 to 1,000 hp. 
First run in 1937, it powered iconic aircraft including the Antonov An-2, Polikarpov I-153 and I-16, and the Lisunov Li-2. With over 40,000 units produced in the USSR and additional licensed production in Poland (ASz-62) and China (HS-5), the ASh-62 stands as a testament to rugged design and long-lasting reliability in both military and civilian aviation.

Ok guys, I have decided to let this very cool display piece go, as I had a plan to make it a dinning table for a venue I am putting together, but it is a runner and too complete to do that,. My 2nd plan was to build a nice display cart as we did, and then I was going to put together a start station so we could roll it out and fire it up on Veterans and Memorial Day, but it is fairly heavy and will be complicated once all our cars and tables are in place.
The cart is very heavy duty built, as I had it transported flat bed trailer about 1000 miles, so there isn’t any worry there. And I can also assist with the shipping logistics if needed.
This is a very cool pieces that I tried so hard to keep for my upcoming Southern Coach Works restaurant/cocktail bar venue, but it just doesn’t fit into the automotive theme overall.
Here is a cool video example of one of these firing up on a run stand.
