Hi,
I once saw a picture of a Ford Capri hearse and thought that will make an ideal estate car or a van. As the prices of hearses are coming down some people are sliding a Cossie engine or a V8 and using them as banger racers.
I do furniture restoration as a hobby and have found most estate cars aren't big enough for my kit and furniture, so a hearse would be ideal. Just have to inform the insurance company of the change of vehicle use. I'll need to change the appearance as these cars look a bit morbid at the best of times.
Any 'Whiffs'?

Top Gear Australia made a Smart Hearse at one stage. The coffin went in through the rear window, poked out the back and was held to the roof racks with octopus straps.
And they drove it through the streets of Sydney wearing full funereal hats.
There's video of it on the Top Gear site.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

You forgot to provide a link.
Not older than dirt but remembers when it was still under warranty.
