A lot of the first generation corvairs burnt up because they decided to stretch the battery cable over the edge of the air shroud. A lot melted down too because of the silly way they routed the fan belt. If you turned the radio too loud and forgot to listen to make sure the fan was still shrieking, the belt would come off and the engine would fry.
