Default Canadian C4 Corvette Bursts Into Flame in Owner's Driveway



Luckily nobody was physically hurt, but we can feel the heartbreak from south of the border.

What a crying shame. More than likely a fuel leak of some sort. My neighbor lost his 96 LT4 coupe from an electrical fire. Car was totaled and he had no Comprehensive insurance. Homeowners insurance only covered the smoke damage to the garage.

Had a friend in Boston that had his C4 go up in flames just like the pic. Same thing, sitting in his driveway suddenly burst into flames. Except for the wheels, it was a total loss.

my guess shorted battery. a friend's 1996 LT4 burnt like that, it was the battery that caused it
