Hello!
Assuming that the gold is pure 24k, the
one large bar weighs 722,400 tons per foot in height. (You didn’t
specify the third dimension for the bar.) Personally, I’d go with
the trucks. I don’t think hovercraft have that much lifting power.
Of course, if he thinks the aliens will
help him, that’s another matter entirely.

Subject: interesting morning
It's amazing the things you learn on the reference
desk. This morning, I've learned that Montezuma spoke Ute; that 2000lb
bars of gold, sacks of Spanish coins from the 1500s, and "over 1500
lbs of 20-lb bars of gold" are laying all around the Uintah Mountains
in eastern Utah; that there are also "red diamond" mines, and that a
bar of gold that is 600 ft by 2000ft is also somewhere in the Uintahs.
The patron of course knows exactly where they are; as soon as he takes over all
the electricity generation in the country he is going to get them in the giant
trucks he has ordered from Austria. Or use his hovercraft.
