Looks to still have grease and oil on the tranny so it should be ok for a rebuild. The engine should also be ok for a rebuild. Cant see the rear end so hard to say. As for the rest of the stuff on the engine, I think its pretty much SMOKED LOL

I'm after the rear end.this thing looks like it sat in the oven a lil long.
 
Any pics of the rest of it ?. If the reared is dirty and the pin on seal looks in tacked and not melted, it should be ok. Hard to tell with out seeing

I'll ask him to send over a couple pics, also going by there 12/15 an ill look.
 
I like the custom shaped valve covers.:giggle:
 
how in the world did the plenum survive so well? Odds are the axle is OK for rebuilding and if that's all you're looking for that's about all I'd pay for. The block and crank are probably OK for a core as well. Everything else is pretty much crushed weight.
 
You have to see it in person. Guy said it came from Tx.a wildfire burnt everything he owned. guy said I could have the posi for trade in work on his Gn. when I was there did check the trans, yup smelt burnt.
 
Damn,Melted the throttle body but the coil pack somewhat survived.How in the hell did the tires survive?o_O

Engine looks good as long as its not filled with water. Trans looks good. Looks kinda like the engine from Gnx 476
 
Lemme get this straight.
This happened in a Texas wildfire ( I know that area pretty well and it's shocking to see what happened there)
But the guy drug this thing all the way to TN?
Huh?
And why?
 
I'm in Co. an I belive the car came out of Amarillo,Tx from what the guy says.
