My local fire and safety place was selling Halon extinguishers as late as
1998 because that's when I installed the four point bar in my ZR-1. Mine was
probably a new leftover.

 Halon production was ended 12/1993 in the U.S. You can buy Recycled Halon
but you cannot buy new extingushers filled with Halon. I bought one for my
boat back in 1993,sold boat kept extingusher. I have kept a 5lb ABC rated in
my company cars for over two decades and have used them maybe 5-6 times.
It's always someone else who has had the fires but I too put em out and
drive away sometimes with a thank you and sometimes without.
  The bottom line is a good ABC extingusher is better than nothing at all.

 I mounted a two pound Halon unit on my ZR-1's rollbar,within easy reach.
When I re-do the interior in my El Camino this year,a fire extinguisher
mount will be a mandatory addition. Right now,I just carry one behind the
seat but that's not really a safe way to do it.

   A couple of weeks ago I had a buddy at work tell me about his
father-in-law and his bad and good luck.  His father-in-law has a '62 Impala
convertible.  He took it for a ride recently and as he was driving he had an
engine fire. (Bad luck).  When he pulled off the road he had a trucker stop,
run up with a fire extinquisher, put out the fire, get back in his truck and
take off before the guy could even say thanks or anything. (Good luck).
This has made me definately want a fire extinquisher.  Does anyone have any
suggestions on the type to get.  Do you use a typical house type or is there
a special type?  His damage was confined to the engine compartment.  He had
no body or paint damage.

 Yes, I checked there yesterday too. The problem you may run into in your area 
is someone to refill them. I would check for availability first and cost to 
refill. I know I'm not going to use mine unless it's one of my classics
that's on fire. I move the extingusher to whatever car I'm driving or working 
on. Everyone else I might help gets an ABC dousing. gm66
