Red Alert 70 Chevelle
 

Anyone know the current owner of the 70 Chevelle "Red Alert?" Looking for owner or anyone with any high res images they took of the car in competition for a book on 70 Chevelles.

That'd be great. If you took any quality photos or know someone who did of Red Alert in action in its racing days I could use a couple. Contact me offline if you would at [email protected]

I emailed him via the address contained here in the member's list but I guess it's been changed. Got a undeliverable receipt from the host.

I never realized that was a Jersey car

Dale, I'll PM you his number.

Interesting find on Facebook tonight. Guy buys out a huge parts collection. In it are some bucket seats and there he later finds a buildsheet to an LS6. He posts a photo of the sheet and lo and behold I recognize it as belonging to Red Alert. Now THAT is a cool find! I hope he reunites it with the current owner.

Unbelievably awesome!

The car is in the Eagles Mere Museum in PA

Rick i sent you a text .. KP

----Rick,,,Shortly after bringing Red Alert back to my shop on Cape Cod in 1990 I took out the front seat to have a seam re-stitched. I looked underneath and there was a beautiful build sheet. The interior guy took the seat apart and carefully removed the build sheet. We were both really surprised to see that it belonged to a Malibu small block convertible. With a bit of thought we figured out that the Malibu was a few serial numbers after RA. The installer must have picked up the wrong seat.
----Really cool to hear about this build sheet. I wonder what serial number it is. Pretty sure the present owner would want it. Red was an early December car as close as I can recollect.....Bill S

Build sheet
 

From the FB post:

Unfortunately he wants to sell it. Cant say I blame him but I hope he does not hold the owner hostage. It's cool but doubt it would add a ton of money to the car.

Adjusted pic

This is one car that doesn't need a buildsheet !

The Photo is enough if I owned the car. Its great the Facebook poster found it and he should be able to sell it as his reward for saving it. But for a fair price. I would say 500-1000 Maximum is a fair price and it would be worth it to me. Anything more, I would keep the photo posted on FB. Its not worth anything but to the owner of the car.

----When Terry and I went to AMT in 1993 for them to make a run of Red Alert models (5000 of them) Terry was given the job of doing the box design and some extras. We made a window sticker and a build sheet. These were to be included with the model as an extra incentive. They looked pretty good but some guys on another website got on my case about fonts and other minor discrepancies. I kept telling them that we knew that and it really wasn't that big a deal. I finally gave up and left that sight, never to return!...….Bill S

When I was cleaning out the basement yesterday I ran across those - the window sticker has your signature on it.

Please share a picture!!!

Bill and Jan gave me one of the models, I think they used it as bait to get me out of their house :-) (joke)

Ryan W31

----No, Ryan, That was to get you here!!! Forgot to say that Terry won an award for the packaging. It was one of the 1st really cool car art boxes.....Bill S

Here you go...........

Not Bad
 

Nice job...... did you have any copies of the original build sheet to work with ?

Paul

----No, Paul. Just the convert one. Didn't even have the internet. I'm not sure where Terry got the info, but he had a lot of friends (RIP, Terry)…….Bill S

I still think of Terry often, what a character.

Carndog!!

Terry tasked me with getting the codes to fill in the buildsheet. He knew I had a large collection of sheets to work from.

I think I've mentioned previously but worth repeating.......Our first trip to Bloomington in 1980 as kids - Dave rode shotgun with Terry in a maroon 69 L89 Corvette Coupe (Dave was 7 years old). I was 10 and rode shotgun in Bill's silver LS6 coupe. Great memories!

I now own Terrys 1969 L89 Corvette coupe, you wouldn't have any pics from then , would you? Tom

I don't but my parents might, I'll ask them. What is the car like now?

The car is probably just like you remember, it was never restored. I met Terry at Bloomington in 2002 and he was so happy to see the car just as he remembered. Here is a link from a mag article on the car. I would love some pics if you happen to find any. https://www.corvette-mag.com/issues/...ainst-all-odds

Wow...what a cool Corvette!!:biggthumpup:

Thanks for sharing that - great to see it again!

Parents did not have any pictures, sorry. I'll keep looking around.

I remember the silver LS6, but I've never seen the L89 coupe.

Ok, thanks anyway, fun to see the car and Terry remembered on this site .

----Terry put the L89 thru judging whatever the year it was That the Dykstras mentioned and tasked me to detail it. I forgot to put the nuts back on the rear Corvette letters and they remained on but the judges caught the lack of nuts and Terry got pissed off at me. I do have a picture of Terry trying to put the nuts back on with me standing beside the car. If you knew Terry he was completely incompetent in the mechanical area. He absolutely lived for all types of cars but could hardly change a tire. He was a very close and good friend. If you want I will make a copy of it the pic for you.
----Of course you already know what a great car it was. Good to know where it is and in safe, caring hands!..….Bill S
