Red Alert 70 Chevelle

[TimG]

The Terry stories would probably never end. I was with Terrys cousin at the Barrett Jackson auction in 2005 when Terry called to announce he purchased a one owner 69 Corvette at the RM auction across town. This was the same year his gold LS6 Chevelle was going through Barrett Jackson and the funds wouldn't be available in time to pay for the Corvette. He called his cousin to ask for a loan until the Chevelle funds came in. Of course, Steve loaned him the money and actually owned half the car until Terry bought out his half. Terry needed my help to get the car back to the Barrett Jackson parking lot for transit home to Illinois. Terry drove the car in the pouring rain from RM to Barrett Jackson and through the muddy parking lot to the transport. I followed in the rental car. In 2006 Terry wanted to get the car judged at San Antonio Nationals so he sent the car to Austin for me to garage until the auction. He forgot to sign the car up for the Nationals and in January of 2007 he passed away while the car was still in my garage. Dana Mecum really did a nice thing, he and Terry were friends for a long time. Dana sold all of Terrys cars at auction with the proceeds going to Terrys daughter. He had the car shipped to the auction from my house and it sold for lots of money at the Terry Carney estate sale.
