what does ``lock, stock and two smoking barrel` mean?

Answer 1

I figure this a reference to a completely stock vehicle. I have never heard it expressed quite this way but different areas have their own sayings.
The two barrel would refer to a stock two barrel carburetor found on most cars until the mid eighties.


Note : there an old phrase used that is not in reference to automobiles. It is "lock, stock and barrel". It means "all of it".
If a bank foreclosed on a shopkeeper during the depression, they took it all, lock(to the front door), stock(all the goods in the shop) and barrel(shop fixtures, which at that time often consisted of barrels in which goods were kept).
