The wildfires destroyed Danny Robinson's house and vintage cars, including a 1966 Pontiac GTO and his Corvette. He's promising to rebuild and restore, but his Corvette dream is gone forever.
She was sleek as night wind, painted red, with a peanut-butter interior, a tuned-port motor with a factory four-speed. Oh, man, said Danny Robinson, the things that 1986 Corvette might have done. He had been working on her for a while, ordered an ignition switch and was awaiting registration.
That would be done later, when the debris and toxins were cleared and he could hire contractors with the insurance money to rebuild. He spoke instead of lost things: his collection of 400 miniature Hot Wheels cars and pictures of him with his uncle Cleveland Green, who played offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins in the 1980s and once invited Robinson into the team’s locker room. “He used to block for Dan Marino,” said Robinson. He paused, looked into the indecipherable gray at his feet.
