While I'm not sure it's worth risking your life to save a car, it makes for a great story to tell.
Cascades resident walks through fire to save his ‘baby’
Glad he made it out OK and saved a piece of history.

Damn, man has some cajones. Cool that the firefighters splashed the car as he drove out.

No, it wasn't. My life is worth more than $150k. I'm sure he had insurance on something that rare.
Material things aren't worth getting yourself killed over.

I think has more to do with what the car ment to him. I did notice that the stroy did not say enything about a wife/partner or kids. A kid could have ran to get to the car quicker.

that's what happens when you live in the fire hazzard area.
To me, the Novas are worth more and are rarer becuase they really are but you don't really hear about them, all you hear about is the Camaro, you don't even hear about refrigerator white Zl1s more
Such a cool car and proud to be a Pennsylvanian and live about an hour away from where his shop was!

My old Honda Civic Sedan was a Yenko, but I wouldn't have run into a fire to save it!
(it actually was, Yenko stayed in business as a Honda dealer until recently, when it became South Hills Honda)

Welcome to California!
The Land of Shake N Bake. If it's not quaking, its on fire.
I think Jay Leno needs to invite this guy to his show.
