<VV> World's Oldest Running Car is not rear-engined

[Charles Lee]

Nope, not uni-body, and not rear-engined either ~

Definitely front-engined, with about the same weight distribution as a 70's
muscle car

Oldest Running Car Fetches $4.62M

 This is the oldest motor vehicle car in the world that still runs.
 It was built one year before Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the
 internal combustion engine.
 The world's oldest running motor vehicle has been sold at auction for an
 astonishing $4.62 million (R36.5-million), more than double the pre-sale
 estimate, as two bidders chased the price up in a three-minute bidding war.
