Fascinating. I appears to be an up-scaled scan of an Athearn HO car. Quickest build would be to assemble it as a "box" and put it either on an AM flatcar or an old ACE conversion floor for the AF box/stock/reefer. The real car probably had straight side sills and a fishbelly center sill, so a piece of wood floor stock, bolsters and an SHS center sill casting would also work.
