Not too easily done, and it's been gone for 6 years now, likely it's already restored or hot rodded now.
But that's a good thing as the entire yard has now been crushed sadly.

Same here, I finally got my own COE too, a 1956 Mercury! (Mercury versions of Ford trucks being available in Canada from 1942-72)

It so would! I have no idea where it is now, it was sitting in the back of a museum that was selling out, and I tried to get it but was told for years it was not for sale, then one day it was sold...

Figgers. That wrecking yard I used to go to that I had the titles on hold at for the 53 Pontiac Hearse (Combo coach actually) and 1919 Chevy flatbed truck (kyoot little thing) had a big nasty ol 48 GMC COE. He used it for hauling crushed cars 3 at a time, but I nearly had him talked into selling us that since it ran and had a title. He had other trucks and all, but he hit us with a good point.
"You have money down on three cars. With that much money down you can walk away with one right now."
I shoulda took the offer instead of being overconfident and greedy. I would have taken the hearse. NOW... all of them are gone. Probably melted down and turned into Hyundais.

I wish, I had the same thoguht but with a more affordable 502 Caddi V8... too bad this thing was sold before I ever found it!

that sucks,maybe a Detroit Diesel 2stroke 6 or 8V92 engine could also be perfect for it

Or even a Duramax would be cool (as long as it's heads don't warp or the head gaskets don't let go...)

hmm,a Duramax Diesel V8 doesn't seem like a bad idea neither,personally i like the sound of those Detroit Diesel engines
