Up for grabs we have a GIGANTIC! Vintage tribute to the almighty fire breathing 426 Hemi Big Block. This was hand fabricated and welded from a heavy gauge steel into a folk art tribute to the worlds most famous engine. The mailbox was pulled from outside service years ago and had received maintenance and upgrades throughout its life. There is some aging primarily on the top silver portion of the engine from weathering but the black and orange is in very decent condition, im assuming auto paint was used and held up much better too the elements. There is a total of 19 lights in the engine, the headers and blower have flame flickering bulbs which brings it to life wonderfully and the valve cover ports/boots have amber indicator accent lights. The motor is huge! And built like a tank. The door and flag work very well, the top pulley has a large industrial magnet that secures the door in the closed position. The belt is a heavy gauge steel band welded onto the pulleys. We do not know how old the piece actually is, judging by its design most likely 1970s-1990s. As it sits currently this would be used indoors inside your shop or as a piece of display art for the garage or man cave, you would need to modify the electrical components to weather proof if you wanted it for outdoor use. Please ask questions and more photos are available if needed. Thank you for looking! X 18″ TALL X 22″ DEEP. Enjoy all photos using zoom and ask questions if needed.
