Not sure what year but I think its a C5. This poor Corvette was driven at high speed into the back of a pickup today and the resulting engine fire reduced the vette to ash.

Can anything be salvaged from that mess? It looks like it was a very hot fire, I'm not sure the engine can be salvaged, maybe just the short block and heads. I sure wouldn't want it.
