Default 83 camaro car fire

Is my car worth repair? My baby(Camaro) recieved an oil change around three years ago. After driving two blocks home I seen fire on the left side(facing car) of the engine. The car burnt from the front of the car all the way to the dash board, steering wheel. I feel as though my car can be saved and thats just being bias because its my bab.y. I anyone has some feedback please give me a reason not to try and get it back or a reason to save it.

welcome to the forums?

not an insult, but where are you located? It's apparent that English is a second language for you and you're doing well ( I wish my Spanish was as good)

anyway, it seems that you last drove your car 3 years ago is that correct?

It has been sitting after a fire for 3 years, is that also correct?

there may be value in some parts but photos would help tremendously

There are car fires, and then there are car fires (full blazing carbeque). Yes, pictures would be helpful to see if it's just some things on the surface that needs to be replaced, or if everything up to and including the dash is ash.
