That was one of the first things I asked him was if the battery was disconnected. He said it was for 2 reasons. 1 it had a battery shut off, and 2 it had a draw if it sat longer than 4-5 days the battery would be dead.

They think the fire started near the breaker panel. The owners have a wedding barn and they had roughly 25 Christmas trees and various different decorations in this barn and it all went up. Josh said they had some quads and a UTV that happened to be near the breaker box and the 4 wheelers are just a pile of aluminum wrapped steel tubing.

He is on the hunt for a 69 442 currently. The insurance company wants him to compile a list of receipts he has for the car so they can work on a value. They said they will only cover the car and things bolted to the car. Nothing inside. Josh said he left some snap-on stuff in there. Mainly his new timing light and he will most likely not be getting that back. It's a bad deal for sure.
