The insurance company now owns the car and THEY need to sell it to close their file on this burn claim. Far too often this type of a burn is someone "selling" their car to their insurance company...recent reports indicate that insurance fraud is way up given the state of the economy and resale markets. Two older gents sitting on the beach in Florida got to chatting and discovered both had been in the clothing business. Guy from NY said after 30 years had a fire at the factory and just decided to retire. Other guy from Chicago says Yea 35 years and a tornado destroyed everything.....NY guy asks the Chicago Guy...How do you start a tornado ?

I am seeing a new set of sport seats rising out of the ashes.

You can tell by the remainder of the car what the temperature of the fire was. Aluminum's melting point of 1200 degrees without any aluminum on the remaining wreck says that was one hot fire. The distortion of the steel says that the fire probably reached temps of around 2200-2400 degrees at on point. Some useless trivia.
