I was there when it came back to life - he has to be the luckiest dude I know! Looks like a reman engine was dropped in, the fuel system wasn't pressure tested properly, it leaked and caught fire. Damage was actually VERY minor, just under the upper intake manifold. Sucker runs like a CHAMP.

Congrats again, Travis!

Amazing find man. How many miles on the chassis? Looks like a reman motor. Wish I could get a find like that. No junk yard around me would ever have anything like that. Reminds me of when I found my AMG for $500.
