Dang. Sad to see this. Following this. Sure could use a lot of parts off this one.

Re: Engine Fire??
I'm wondering what happened to cause the fire? I could see PM if we knew...

Re: Engine Fire??
Fire on top of the hood,no fire damage underneath. Only damaged from heat.

Re: Engine Fire??
Looks like the same damage one of our Wazoo had with his 91. State Farm concluded that the AC line ruptured and while Freon is not flammable, the oil from the compressor is and it dripped onto a hot header and flame up she goes. Firefighters broke the windshield in the same spot as well.

I wouldn't say the only damage is from the heat.....That looks like melted belts and hoses, and a charred plenum from the flames. And no telling how much water \ foaming agent was doused on there to put it out. |

Re: Engine Fire??
Look at the plate holder in the rear,looks like somebody raped it to get the plate off the car.

Re: Engine Fire??
Fact is that our beloved Zs are 24 to 29 years old. Although not common, AC line rupturing is not so unimaginable.
Also, I am hearing of counterfeit R12 Freon refrigerant - propane gas. Just in case, I started to carry a fire extinguisher. https://flic.kr/p/2gLgqRw |
