Vintage Hemi Engine Mopar Folk Art Mail Box Lighted Display Sign HUGE (VIDEO) For Sale

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. The motor was later brought indoors and electrified and used as a counter display and mail box. 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 mail box plugs in to a standard wall outlet and operates with a on/off roller switch attached to the cord.   The motor is huge! And built like a tank.  There is an access panel on top and the mail box is removable if needed, 4 screws underneath and the mail box will slide out of the housing. 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 .   There are scratches\'s and superficial imperfections throughout and ageing, but overall an amazing piece of Americana one of a kind hand fabricated folk art with a purpose you can use for display or mail, not another one on earth like it. Please ask questions and more photos are available if needed. Thank you for looking!
