When are you bringing it home?

In a Morbid sense. That would be a blast to drive.

Fiberglass coffin?

Fiberglass coffin?

Interesting , considering

In the early 1950s, there were more than 700 casket makers in the United States and 75% of caskets were made of wood. Most caskets were sourced from local materials and more than 20,000 workers were employed in the US casket manufacturing industry. As assembly line methods perfected by the auto industry rapidly changed the way caskets were manufactured and distributed in America, the share of caskets made from steel grew to more than 60%. The casket industry also continued to consolidate with about 500 casket manufacturers in existence by the late 1960s.

Just in time for Halloween, huh?
Like in comedy, timing is everything.
I'm going to hold out for black with red interior.

It probably has a single two barrel hidden in the middle of all the bling.....
If you blow up the picture those carbs are feeding into the top of the valve covers & it looks like it may have a single round air cleaner in the middle..

nobody thinking, what happens if the diff goes while I'm driving it?

I dunno. Different pictures show the intake and valve covers are separate. It's a Ford 289.

Another site says it had 10 chromed Stromberg carbs.

Some pictures also show a Cobra air cleaner in the mix.

The reality is it's a show car with lots of bling but hidden inside is a fairly stock engine... The intake you see isn't functional...

And FWIW I don't think any of those three pictures are the same engine... The first one you posted is definitely different...

 

[Triplegreen500]

That last one, it's not a Cobra air cleaner. It's a shroud. More like a valley cover they made to look like an air cleaner. Those look like real carbs in the last photo.

 

[Bee1971]

How many replicas have been made ?

Anyways
