The sleek black 1966 Imperial Crown Convertible made famous on "Pawn Stars" was NEARLY laid to rest yesterday -- after its engine suddenly burst into flames -- but TMZ has learned ... there's still hope.
Sources connected with the show tell TMZ, a production assistant was driving the car -- which belongs to Richard aka "The Old Man" -- and right before he made it back to the shop for yesterday's taping ... the engine suddenly burst into flames.
They haven't pinpointed the exact reason behind the miniature explosion -- but we're told, a loose fuel hose is probably to blame.
No word on the extent of the damage either -- but according to our source, it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Treating Las Vegas clubgoers like a mob of hungry strippers, the guys from "Pawn Stars" grabbed an economically-conscious stack of singles this weekend -- and made it drizzle all over the place.
Our friends at SpyOnVegas.com shot photos of Rick Harrison, Big Hoss and Chumlee throwing around their hard-earned cash at Vanity nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday night.
No word on exactly how much money the crew dropped that night -- but judging by the shallow puddles of Washingtons all over the floor, we're guessing the gang was probably down around $43.
Lil' Wayne would be proud ... maybe.

Wanted: Kind, loving owners looking to house a car-crushing, fire-breather named Robosaurus.
Likes: Short drives, heavy metal and destroying everything in its path.
Asking price: $5 million.
TMZ has learned ... somebody is actually trying to sell Robosaurus -- and Friday afternoon, the guys from the show "Pawn Stars" had an up close and personal meeting with the havoc-wreaker to check out the goods.
But don't get too excited -- Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison tells us the "Pawn" crew couldn't get close to the $5 million asking price ... and didn't make an offer because they didn't want the owner "to be offended."
Not pissing off the guy who controls Robosaurus is a good life choice.
