"The flames grew and the fire got bigger and a couple of popped tyres with the young fella hanging over the fence trying to put it out, was a bit scary," witness Steve Troy told 9News.
Firefighters arrived a short time later and extinguished the flames.
An engine fault is believed to be the cause of the fire and the car was completely destroyed.
