Do I have to pay the income and sales taxes on the prize... Or is this an "It fell off a truck" kind of deal.

I’d take the tuba. At 6’11”, the Vette engine is more suitable for a Buick Roadmaster.

I cheated, because I'm really not interested in a YCB-826S, and - if I kill myself seeing what driving a flying coffin at 233 MPH feels like - hell, I'm old anyways.

Stealing one of those, might be almost like stealing the Mona Lisa. You couldn't do anything with it because it would be immediately noticed. All you could do would be to tear it down and sell it as pieces.
