    This is sad on so many levels, but if you look at the pic, and mentally erase the vents, you can see that the back could easily pass for the front of a very cool little car. Manta-looking, in fact.
    But I digress.

    OMG! NO!!!! NOT THE LITTLE CORVAIR! No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    So, umm, do you think they'd take less than $500 for it? Should I open with $100? How's Team Goodness, Gracious, Great Cars Afire for a theme?

    I just saw video coverage of that property on the news. There is a 1930s Al Capone type car (burned also) about 30 feet away from the Corvair.

    I just moved to an area of San Diego that was hit particularly hard by wild fires about 5 years back (Scripps Ranch) and the thought of this happening to my car has crossed my mind. Hooray for agreed value collector car insurance policies, but it'd still break my heart.

    As long as the fire doesn't make it to Burbank I'll be ok... a burned Dusenberg would be too much to take.

    You should contract the guys who did the chain-link fence to do the rest of the house, and you wouldn't have this problem next time.
