I just stumbled upon an '87 Milano with Italian nameplates (75, although has DOT plate) that apparently had an engine fire recently. The car is in amazing clean condition both inside and out that indicate that it was a well maintained car, 3 liter rear spoiler and flares, aftermarket BBS wheels, decent tires, other than the front.
Has anyone out there dealt with bringing a Milano back to life that has had an engine fire? Hood is wrinkled a bit, grille gone, front tires slightly melted, but other than that fine. I couldn't open the hood, so I don't as of yet know the extent of the engine compartment damage, but I am assuming anything plastic, along with the wiring harness is gone.
Hopefully by the end of the day or tomorrow I should know if I can buy the car. Any thoughts on value? Hope to have some photos later.
