Last nite after taking my 1975 Continental out for a spin, it started on fire. I was leaving my friends house trying to turn the ignition and it wouldnt turn over. I took the key out and as I was getting out I saw smoke, popped the hood and there was a :q:q:q:qing fire!
Immediately I was :q:q:q:qting bricks because, well my car was on :q:q:q:qing fire! The flames shot 4 feet in the air when I popped the hood and the flames looked like they were coming from the carburetor maybe even from the oil. We put the fire out with water from a hose in time before it blew the :q:q:q:q up.
This was the scariest thing thats happened to me...I'm going to go take some pictures of the damage and i'll post em so everybody can see damage. I'm pissed because I was going to rebuild that 460 and maybe put a sc on it. I'm also pissed because even if i do keep the car, the hood has some boil spots from the heat.
