I find it funny how the guy listed the interior of the car as brown. Very sad to see an S in this condition.

For the most part, other than some scorching on the exterior of the head, cover, fuel rail and some burnt wiring, that motor looks fine, would make a perfect low compression rebuild for a 20PSI blow. I'm sure the tranny and diff are fine too.

I was thinking the same thing, doesn't look like an engine fire. Possibly electrical if it wasn't smoking... That's an creepy thought, a fire caused by bad wiring on an amp in the spare tire area... Imagine... A fire right next to your fuel tank...

20 psi?!? I was thinking along the lines of 30 psi. I already have a turbo picked out and I can get back my Sparco Torinos. Hmm....I've already got plans for this car. So who wants to sponsor me?!?

Hmm....car + s/h here.....not sure on what else is needed. The sad think is a project like that would run about $10K to get as a running car....not including any "race modifications" to make it race legal or even worthy. That car would be better off as an auto-x car. Cheaper too
