Not sure where or when this happened, all we know is it’s sad. The guys at Moparts speculate that the fire was the result of a flammable glass reproduction air cleaner assembly and rubber fuel line. Apparently the owner ran through his only fire extinguisher quickly but wasn’t able to stop the blaze. All he could do was stand there and take pics til the fire deparment showed up. More pics of the carnage after the jump!
I’ve only got one dinky little extinguisher too. Think I’ll buy another.
Yeah, probably a good call…
I hope this guy had insurance. Going by these photos it looks like it could be repaired.
