Now we just need a 1:6 scale Model A to put the engine in...and a 1:6 scale person to drive it. (LOL)

I’d be very skeptical
Seems Ukrainian is a bit preoccupied…awful situation
Prayers for those people

From what I have read, there were a small number of these made. I saw one sell at an auction a few weeks ago for $3,200, with a 12% buyer's premium tacked on top. This was an auction that had a lot of model engines and was attended by a lot of model engine enthusiasts, so people knew what they were bidding on. This sounds like a new run of engines, which would make me a bit suspicious, regardless of where they were made. I believe Profi was a German company, but the model engines were made all over Europe, including Eastern Europe. Maybe they are still in business.

You could install it in this 1/6 scale Dusey and have a running car. https://craftsmanshipmuseum.com/artisan/louis-chenot/

There are several small engine kits on the market. Most don't exactly match a real engine for looks but for a lot of money you can build your own running little conversation piece - https://www.amazon.com/Mini-V8-Engin...Kits+That+Runs

Here is a 4 cyl flathead for only a grand.....
