Unhappy A Vert SAD day

I have a 86 TA firebird that decided to have a weinie and marshmellow roast. Now it is in very sad condition because I was unable to get the fire out fast enough. All said and done, If one of you or if you know of someone that would like to restore this wonderful '86 with very little fire damage (but with a broken neck I no longer can do it) for the right price please let me know. I can be reached at (847)772-4661 or leave a message here and I'll get back to you. I do have recent pics.

Had I had time to put a ring around this fire it might have saved a 4 yr project that was very very close to finish. Just needed a new hood and a new paint job and it would have been finished. Now, it's a good parts bin.

Wow, you guys are soo-ooo confused, ...

I think what he is saying is that the car started to burn which probably started IN THE CAR. Most likely started as a wire-fire, or fuel issue, or something like that. And it turned itself into a 'camp-fire'.

Nothing to do with an actual camp-fire, or marshmallows, or ...

The Fire started in the engine compartment, don't really know how it started but it was not a nice sight watching this beautiful car in flames. If anyone is interested I can email you some of the pics, before and after. Anyone needing parts this is where to find them.
