OK, you panicked. Now settle down and check for spark and fuel.

You know it has a good battery and the starter works.

Those are pics of a GREAT car. Just get on with the basic diagnostics.

My 87 5ktq did that once when I turned a corner. It just stopped. A speck 
of solder that was loose in the ECU had moved and was shorting out a 
critical sensor. Picked the solder out and it ran fine. Of course, it took 
two days to find the speck of solder.
