My first car was a 72 manual 2 door Torana that I picked up for around $600. Pulled up at some lights one night and it just stopped dead. I was trying to restart it when I saw some weird wavy shadows on the road in front of the car. When I got out I realised they were coming from the fire under the hood. Turned out the fuel line had popped off and pumped fuel all over the engine which ignited and burnt out all the wiring and hoses.
