It looks like it is all for show, and not go. It weighs a ton, and can't turn or go over even a small bump.

I remember as a guy in my early 20s lifting a block from a buick 430 ci motor in the back of a Dodge Omni. It wasn't easy, but I did it. Could I do it today? No idea, and I suspect we won't ever find out because today, I'd find another way.

(not mine, but similar)

That photo of Janis just hurts.
No need for a back story but thanks for posting that.
She died from her, "honest man, this is my last hit of heroin."
Saw her with Big Brother many times. I was close to SF and was 17 in 1967.

I had a '69 the same color as the one pictured above, but the motor siezed. I rebuilt in, but then when I was done, it had put a bad taste in my mouth, so I sold it for a song. It was a very cool car.
