Sad day when a whole barn full of collector cars goes up in smoke. Bad if they burn outside but in a building the wallas hold the heat in and they get real hot. I don't think the iron blocks are salvageable.
Working instrumentation a few years ago I saw Wuahkesha
V12 natural gas engines after the compressor package burned. All the aluminium covers melted off with the rocker cover aluminium in the oil pan.
Yes it was. I talked to my friend and he said like I did that he is almost positive the man died in the fire. I think that's right. This was a very long time ago. If I had to guess, I'd say probably about 1973.
