Title: 1963 Corvette lost in fire last night
Post by: EDNY on November 26, 2016, 04:25:20 PM
My buddy was out of town delivering cars when his home burned down. Everything was insured including the vette, just took a couple pictures of what's left of the 63 convertible , SBC, 4sp car.

Heart breaking and I don't even like Corvetts, especially post '62, but that was someones darlin'. Fire is my biggest fear here. Even if I was home most would not be saved. His looks like a total loss, very, very sad. :( Just in time for Christmas and winter. :( So sorry for your friend.

If you read the article you will note that the fire fighter community responded from all directions including Canada.

When I was a border patrol agent in El Paso, Texas the Texas departments stopped responding to Mexican fires because the Mexicans would like to seize the trucks and equipment....a grateful bunch.

That is really a shame! It's bad about the car, but losing your home?! Terrible. At least no one was hurt.

That's a real shame, insurance or not.
I hope your buddy can have a good Christmas, under the circumstances.
