Krewe of Red Beans Hearse

update:
Engine has been replaced - which cost around 10,000$ 
yikes!

But the hearse is running . . . and now we will fix up a few minor things and help pay off the original sale price + new engine (and insurance, title registration, taxes, ect).

whole thing is 16,000$. . . 
any help appreciated!

hello world,

For the past 10 years, the Krewe of Red Beans has paraded on Lundi Gras in our elaborate bean suits. 

maybe you have even seen our car - the "red bean car".

This year, we decided to launch a second parade, called "Dead Beans" which will meander through mid-city and treme on Lundi Gras. To launch this parade, we purchased a 1969 Cadillac Hearse from a wonderfully strange man in East Texas. 

But the thing is . . . we probably broke the engine getting the hearse from Texas to Louisiana . . . needs a new engine! yikes!

We plan on transforming this hearse into the most amazing bean-car you've ever seen . .  . . 

can you help? 
for the sake of silliness . .  
for the sake of carnival . . . . 
for the sake of los Frijoles Muertos . . . 

we'll make you proud come Lundi Gras!
