What's left - and that's actually quite a bit - is listed for sale on eBay (www.ebay.com/itm/304584887282) for $23,500. I betcha the Seller now wishes he'd had a Blazecut Fire Suppression installed.

Ouch - No extra charge for smoke tinted windows!
@Napa Paul or else perhaps did some preventive maintenance on fuel lines?...just IMHO......a few drops on hot headers = POOF! such a shame to happen on such a great car....

That, TOO! 
Preventative maintenance is certainly not contraindicated with an installed fire suppression system. 
@Napa Paul you are correct ,sir! i was also remiss by not saying it could have also been a backfire through the carbs...paper filters?....in either case ..a truly bad day....like rosanne rosanna dana once said..."ya jnow jane?...it's always sunthin'...if it's not one thing it's another" hope the owner was insured...perhaps fixable if not toooo crispy?
Well it needs one of everything.....Thats a double Hibachi Grill Special aka salvage in the " 3rd degree" That coupe is going to have extensive metal warping issues even at $23,5k it's a huge headache.
That car looks like it was an abomination even before the fire. Look at that rear clip, that’s hack work.
The insurance is already paid out on it so it'll have a salvage title by the end of the summer.
That entire rear clip was replaced (very badly) in the past so I guess it's time for another rear clip which it would need, anyway.
Still, if someone were looking for a VSCCA race car on the cheap, this would be it. Everything forward of the firewall looks good for a race car conversion.

If you go to the linked eBay ad, you'll see he was insured and the remains are being sold as a "Project Car." I guess whether it's "toooo crispy" depends upon what a Buyer thinks his - or her - skills are, eh? At least what's left isn't a melted glob of fiberglass! 
melted glob of fiberglass!
or what looks like coughed up cat hair!

so it WONT buff out..
Paul Roseanne Rosannadana once asked on the Weekend Update why the US was sending Earwax Planes to help the Saudis?
I dig these little clown cars. It's hard to look at these pics.

Photo got me thinking a propane-fired third brake light would get more attention than those dinky LED strips everyone hides under the grill.

@ashcreek could fix it. The VIN's probably worth the $20k by now.
I must not be seeing the "roughness" of the rear clip. It looks pretty good to me; aside from the fire that is. Smooth lines all the way around.
At least he parked it near a storm drain as it burned. You know...for the runoff from the Fire Department.
Oh wait...that runoff would become an environmental catastrophe!

Apparently you didn’t look at the eBay pictures!

I wonder if there was a pool of lead after the fire? Years ago I tied filling some rust holes on an old VA Beach '63 356 Knotchback with lead and the original factory lead started to run off! Went with bondo as it wasn't a restoration.
@LI-Rick : No...I did not look past the burn photos and delve into eBay. That "patchwork" looks more like an abstract art piece!
