The Quick and the Dead (1995)

Suggested correction: According to legend, the car was stripped down to its chassis then rebuilt as a stagecoach for the movie.
It was apparently "stripped down and covered with a wagon." https://movieweb.com/why-sam-raimi-puts-his-car-in-his-movies/.
Question: Why did Ace lie about killing the Terence brothers?
Answer: He's a fraud and he's trying to impress people and create a reputation. Most of what he brags about is likely either made up or was actually done by someone else.
