No. Home equity loans are revolving credit lines. In simple terms, that means you could pay on that for three years and not even touch the principal. I wouldn't do it. Maybe rolling it into a consolidation loan if you have enough equity in your home, but not a HELOC.
Answer
No. You want to avoid "institutionalizing" your debt. In other words, you don't want to spend 15 years on an equity loan paying for a car that you might only have 5-6 years. It really depends on your personal situation. If you have lots of equity in a house, and the monthly payments aren't too much, and you expect that the house will continue to appreciate etc. then MAYBE. But what if interest rates rise (equity loans are usually directly tied to the fed rate), or the housing bubble bursts - then you are stuck with those payments forever. Upside is that the equity loan is tax deductible, car loan is not. Do the math!

If your home is in forcloseure can you qualify for a reverse mortgage?
No you typically do not unless you have significant equity in your home. Reverse mortgages are typically where you draw down the equity in your home. I am assuming that if your home is in foreclosure that you would have exhausted the equity or the lender would have considered rewriting your loan. There are several resources that can provide you with additional information, I have included them in links for you. If you are stuck, you might want to consider the alternative and try to buy your home back when they do the auction.
