A Sweet ride for sure. Mind you, for $324,000 I'd rather have a Hemi Superbird. Or a Hemi Charger RT with change left over!
 
Gm had lots of multi carb engines, from the mid fifties to the late 60s. Chevy, , Pontiac and Cadillac all had tripower, and dual quad engines. Buick had dual quads available for the mid sixties riviera, but I don't think buick ever offered a tripower. Olds had three two barrels in the 57 j2, and also the early 442, but I don't remember any factory dual quads.
