oem hardtop was on the car. guess it was so hot it melted cause i found some of it in the passenger compartment but other then that it is basically gone. the hood was opened by firefighters to get in at the engine. no major explosions that I'm aware of other then the tires cause all my neighbors heard those go off. It was definitely a fuel and oil fed fire. all i can think of is something let loose. on closer inspection of the block, tranny, and diff it was neither of the 3 cause they are all intack. some line somewhere decided to let go is the only thing i can think of.

Wow, scary shit.

Can the wheels at least be salvaged (with a fresh powder coat), or would the heat compromise the alloy?

wow, that's just terrible. Sorry to hear about this but at least your dad wasn't injured and you can possibly upgrade in the future.

Very sorry for the loss. Best of luck with your insurance company, as (unfortunately) they can make things difficult!
