Perry,
The engine compartment is that of an Embo manufactured post '78 coach which is factory style once Ford era coaches ran out.
This particular car hs been discussed here on the forum at some length as it has an earlier style VIN# almsot duplicate of the REAL car is listed in Chuck's registry. This car has one letter misiing in the VIN, so it has a suspicious history and may even be stolen.
Here's the previous thread;
