While searching the Internet I found this COPART auction posting.

I don't know where this car was or when this was offered. Maybe super-sleuth John Snoddy can figure this out.

At first glance I thought it was another casualty of the California wildfires, but then I saw that it was an engine fire.

I can't look at these pictures without crying...

The drums and the frame were worth that.

I have updated this 3383's history in our Registry:

I wish we could find out more about this car since 2013.

Don?t cry too much over salvaging this car. Metallurgy is an absolute nightmare once something has been burned because while it still might retain its shape, steel temperament is all gone while warping occurs heavily.
