Sorry to hear about your bad luck.
I know the house was your major loss but that AH was a nice car (I restored a 64 TR4 15 years ago).

I had the water valve on my almost brand new dishwasher stick open and flood my hardwood floor. Fortunately I caught it in time when my wife came home and said 'where's all that water in the basement coming from'. I had to replace about six or eight T&G boards. After that I got one of these (so I can sleep at night). They have a 3/8" compression fitting.
Floodstop The name doesn't refer to the OPs flood though (wish it could).
