a new hood, some electrical checks... it can be on the road in a week... couldnt have been too hot of a fire- even stale gas would be volatile enough to ignite and put the whole rear clip up in flames... probably a burning barn, a little bit of roofing fell down on the fender/hood- the hood being wasted can be either weight, some heat distortion, or just them carelessly removing it from the scene...
i had a 54 new yorker that was next to a shed that burned down- wasted the side glass and windshield, warped the fender... but it was a running, free, 2drht [331 4bbl] so i had some fun with it....

Notice that the seat materials, which would be the first to go, don't show any fire damage. I would replace the wire harnesses regardless.
