Looks like they were all shorties with maybe one being some sort of motorcoach. Big loss for them regardless.

not anymore they wouldnt.. that kind of heat will warp or melt the aluminum engine heads.. or effectively do what severely overheating an engine on the road would do.. the transmissions would also melt... the temper in any steel parts would be destroyed when they were hit with the extreme heat then cold water..
