Lord....that was a nasty fire. The only thing on that Kingsford POS worth anything are the motor internals and even those may be melted...

I think the only salvageable part is the left front TPMS sensor.

That's funny, they state "good drivetrain" and I wonder what part is still good? Maybe the axles and oil sump?

That is one crispy critter!

I think Florida is fast becoming the Automobile salvage capital of the world. Who in their right mind would buy that trash.

Hit, burned, or stolen-Tough times for some who have overspent. Shall we say "insurance fraud?" Just a guess. Not necessarily with this particular SLR but I hear insurance claims are up.

+1...
It's an easy way out, and honestly looking at the pics it looks like the fire started from above...Engine may still be salvagable..
