Just an amazing piece of human engineering to design, fabricate and put that beast together and it all works in engineering harmony.

Terrific it's been kept and not scrapped at some point in time and lost to history.

I’d like to know how they cast and machined all the parts.

All American jobs, the foundries must have been working overtime.
The West has lost all these jobs, Australia since last year no longer makes any cars.

Just looking at this photo of yours of just a small section....literally mind blowing when you look intricately and study all the parts -
